Now it's Multiple User Paths, so you can wander aimlessly about, four abreast without your dog on a leash while the average commuter cyclist trying to do the honest thing gets yelled @ for not riding @ 5mph to accommodate the sensibilities of people w/out survival skills. Some people are polite, some people aren't, that goes across the board. The fact that you're on a moving vehicle always seems to put you in the wrong. Just like when we're riding foolishly in traffic, we always blame that close call on the car or truck despite our own negligence. But ya, my original point stands.

Most of those cop calls were probably about the kids smoking pot under the overpasses. The article tried to implicate cyclists as the problem, but it's a BIKE PATH, and everyone on that path could use a little education in politeness and saving their own skin. Many letters went to the Globe about it, and many good ones were printed! Not mine, unfortunately. Guess I was too cranky. My response: http://what-i-think.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/07/my-letter-to-th.html Thanks, Drunk Cyclist, for making sense of the world! Ya, that was a totally miserable story.
