More great replies, and I like to see folks posting "against the grain" -- it brings up good opinions.

Question: Is there a posted speed limit on this trail? I know many have 12-13 mph max or something like that.

Is this similar to driving your car and having to maintain your lane behind slower drivers?


I should also say: I too have been stuck behind long lines of cyclists, especially on the Mt. Vernon trail on weekends. Yes, I become frustrated -- but I just maintain my patience and pass when possible.

If up ahead I get creamed by a car, I'd like to think those same folks might stop and call the ambulance .
