I see this all the time on the Springwater Corridor in Portland. Combine kids on bikes with walkers, families, runners, jogging clubs, homeless stumblers, roller-bladers, triathletes, segment seekers, variable path widths and surface irregularities, and cycling teams trying to do rotating pacelines and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I still use the trail, but I'm heads up, and watching for the inevitable at all times.

So true, hence why I ride the road everyday and put up with the motorist yelling at me for not being on the trail. I'm working out not having a fun ride. I'm a hazard if I'm on the trail.
