Both cyclists and runners (and all road users for that matter) have rights AND responsibilites, but they aren't the same for both. |

my neighborhood is currently part of a multi-million dollar city-wide effort to have sidewalks installed where none previously existed.
it's just slightly perplexing to see most pedestrians avoiding the brand new swaths of concrete to still use the street. |

And yes, concrete is really hard on the joints. Last edited by makoti; 06-18-2018 at 10:45 AM. |

I dunno, for me the biggest threat (if you could call it that) is coming up on a runner or walker going the same direction as the rider and calling out "On your left" only to have them jump into your path. So I always try to give them more room and yell further back so I can see/adjust to their skittishness. Unless there's no room with cars then it's every man for themselves.

Exactly. Honestly it's safer to just blow by them without saying anything. It may scare them but at least they won't flail all over the path like they're being attacked by bees.

“On your left” seems to inspire people to jump to the left- the exact opposite reaction of what is intended.
I’ve stopped using words and started using a bell (spurcycle, which you can hear even above your ted talk or yacht rock or whatever is in your earbuds to insulate you from the world around you). |

Runners, scooters, other kind of scooters, boosted boards, skaters, delivery trucks, and bikers going the wrong way, electric bikes going too fast but not fast enough. Cool that some people want to be active we just need huge lanes now with that green paint.

Here's my joke for the day. What's a bike lane? It's that thing in my town that's 1/4 mile long is usually fully of trash. I'm both a cyclist and runner and while I prefer dirt trails to run on, asphalt is a noticeably better surface to run on than concrete.
