Some days one wakes up full of energy and the desire to hop on the bike and go fast. On those days it is best to find quiet country roads where that road is almost yours alone. If on a particular day I merely wish to go for a bit of a spin, I'll ride the bike path. I've come to see that the bike path will have other people and many will not be cyclists. There will be strollers, joggers, runners, old folks and children on bikes or trikes. I think it is great that someone clearly in their 50s or 60s is out on roller blades with elbow and knee protection being active. I'm very careful around kids and I'm sure to announce I'm passing. I'll typically say to those kids,"Hey, great bike". I enjoy the fact that people are out with families. We need more MUPs.
