We all love to go fast. It's unrealistic to think anyone would obey the 10 mph speed limit. The point I'm trying to make here is, there's a time and place for going fast, just not in the afternoon when the trail is crowded with the general public . Most serious cyclist look the same, colorfull tight lycra clothes, exotic road bikes. People love to stereotype cyclist as, rude, premadona, A**holes.When you scream "on your left" while passing a 10 year old kid on a beach cruiser, you fit that stereotype. I'm not that way. I am proud of my riding and accomplishments. But I also respect other peoples feelngs and rights and safety. Just keep your head up, smile and acknowledge people, and enjoy riding. Then when the coast is clear, put your head down and hammer your brains out.
