I think a bike mounted airhorn would scare me just as much

Are you on the Sammamish River Trail ? I rode that a few weekends back on a warm sunny day. Most users seemed really considerate and aware, but I didn't think much of the few cyclists who I came head to head with halfway through their blind bend overtaking manouvers [/B]
Yeah, I'm on the SRT and in general the people are ok, but it depends on when you are on it and of course the weather conditions. I'm sure we all have experienced this, but walking couples, roller bladers, biking couples, jogging strollers etc all block the path pretty solidly. The other bikers I have no trouble with passing or being passed, especially if you know the places on the trail that you shouldn't pass. (and at this point I know every inch of it) In my mind the roller blading couple both wearing headphones is about the worst. But I'm just complaining here, I can do the street if I want, though I'd have to do a section of the Redmond-Woodinville road that I would
not do during the morning rush-hour.
