Yes, on my local bike path there are families with young kids, people walking dogs, roller bladers, runners, people carrying picnic baskets, fishermen moving up to their favorite spot for bank fishing, and equestrians both at full trot and just out for a slow ride. Occationally you will see someone portaging a canoe. I’ve seen a group of nuns out for a ride, moving ever so slow, on 1950ish bikes. I think it is dangerous to try to blast your way down that mess at full speed on a bike. But I see people do it all the time. It's amazing that someone doesn't get killed.
