I was out riding with the TBN on a rec. ride today and a dog almost got the bad side of a 700c wheel, and almost my 26" too - I was part of the lead pack, so told the lady who was walking 'near' this animal that there were a bunch more cyclists coming along. I should note we weren't hauling a$$ or anything, quite the opposite easy going ride.
I have no problem sharing these great path systems, but make it safe for everyone - there are places in that path where a quick swerve might see you diving into the Don river, and screw that in weather like we're having now!
