Thoughtless Joggers

[artemicion]

I think the lesson here is always announce your presence when you are passing. Loudly. For your own safety. Doesn't matter if you are in the "right" and the other person is in the "wrong." I imagine crashing into that jogger would not have been a pleasant experience for you.

It's probably a different atmosphere where I ride, since it's a more "casual" trail with pedestrians and idiot children, but announcing when you pass is a necessity where I ride because some moron teenager unexpectedly swerving into me on their bike feels more like a probability than a possibility when I'm passing.

I ride the city bike lanes and greenways all the time. Well like once a week for a great all day ride. The biggest threats are indeed pedestrians and joggers.

How often do you ride OP?

Were you on the street? Get out of the street, you're a nuisance and a car is going to kill you.

Were you on the sidewalk? Get off the sidewalk, you're a liability and you're going to kill a pedestrian.


In fact, just /yourself, ciclist scum.

3 to 4 times a week, 25 miles each trip.

The thing is, there are PLENTY of pedestrian areas,.. I can't understand why they are glued to those two lanes which are clearly marked for bikes - there are signs and everything.
