    when i'm biking, i hate when people are walking on my bike path. yeah, the bike path. it's mine. but only with walkers. runners are ok. but walkers, especially in a group, kill me when i'm on my bike.

    can't you just use the side walk if you are just going for a leisurely walk??

    Well since it's your bike path and you built and paid for it, maybe you should pay to have a fence built around it with a gate to keep those pesky walkers out of there.

    My wife has had people yell out the window when she runs, she just ignores them and keeps on running, some people are just idiots.

    dude... come on. i know it's not mine. but i'm allowed to be frustrated when i come across ppl just doing whatever they want on a bike path.

    True, I just don't see the problem, announce you are passing, pass, and move on, unless your bike paths are as busy as your city streets, in which case your screwed. I do like your Louis CK quote, he is hilarious.

    trust me, i do yell out things like "on your left" when i pass. and i never bike or run outside with music on, because of safety concerns. and ppl in new york city, both drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and runners are all oblivious to anything but themselves. i actually had a runner tell me they don't worry about getting hit on the road because "they should be looking out for me. it's their fault if they hit me, and if they do, i'll sue." no amount of sueing will bring someone back from the dead.

    We never have any problems with those who ride their bikes on the path. We pay attention and move closer to the side. The people we see on bikes are the nicest people. We smile, wave, say hello, ect. Its only those who are in their cars. There aren't many sidewalks near where I live and I feel like Im more in the way walking in the road.
