before this thread gets too friendly,
i run and bike on many multi-use paved paths. bikers are the biggest ****** out there, hands down. EXCEPT for the commuting biker, and this is not a political save. commuting bikers and runners seem to share the very same etiquette and are generally very considerate as a respective bunch.
and to be clear, not all rec bikers are ******. but among the ****** out there, the large majority is in the rec-bike crowd.
