Bdinger can vouch for more than I can, he's on them or on the street every day. I havent seen any of the stuff he has yet, and I haven't seen any of the dog walkers and roadies-but im sure I will as I progress.
It will probably take a while, because honestly, the VAST majority of the folks on our path (the RI at least, others in town are not so good) are very considerate. I think my face muscles get sore from smiling back and returning a "good morning" by the time I get to work.. hah .

The only times I run into problems, it seems is on the return trip after 5pm, and south of Highway 2 (even if by inches south). The roadie group I refer to is out on Wednesdays, usally between 5 and 5:30. Don't worry if you see a group sitting after 5:30 at the 27th benches, that's Team FIRE, and they're a great group.
