Glad somebody mentioned this. We have a nice riverside bike path here, runs 10 miles or so from downtown out into the desert, used by everybody from old people with walkers to parents with strollers. A bunch of wannabe racers from one of the local clubs have terrorized the thing for years, blasting down the 8-foot path at 25mph, making a game out of seeing how close they can come to the pedestrians (literally--they brag about "brushing that guy's shoulder"). The cops aren't very interested. If you want to go faster than about 10mph, you don't belong on the path.
