Where in Hermosa Beach did this occur?
Yeah its a nice bike path, (not a MUP like some folks may be thinking, its supposed to be for bicycles only). It was near Marina, I was trying to avoid the holy hell of Lincoln/Washington/Venice.
On a side note (to those quick to point out I deserve it for riding on a bike path)
I ride the road almost exclusively. But when the road is this fked up, and there is a perfectly good bicycle only path right there, I can see how drivers would think WTF if I insisted on riding through the traffic jam.
Cycling advocates worked hard to secure a safe bike only path, why not use it when it makes sense. (I'm not talking about riding 20 mph during a weekend, wizzing past children. This was mid day on a week day, almost deserted)
