And by not announcing a cyclist puts us both at risk. So please announce.

No. That's all I'm discussing. I'm not asking pedestrians to do anything. I'm asking cyclists to announce when they pass.

You've never had a 3 year old, have you? Without mechanical restraint, you can't stop them from crossing an invisible line.

Holding a line is not a prerequisite for using a multi-use path. Old...

You're right, I don't know where you ride. Help me understand. Where do you ride? Why is announcing a violation of a social norm? How can a social norm take precedence over the safety of others?

Because you said people hear you, panic and jump in your way. If you can't stop or ride around them you are riding too fast. You are putting others at risk.

Until it doesn't. Without an audible cue, no one knows you are coming. They may move in front of you at the last minute.

Why are you opposed to announcing? What's the down side?

Don't shout. Announce calmly. Announce far enough away that they aren't surprised. Pass slowly. If you do that people don't panic.

I receive a "thank you" from several pedestrians during most MUP rides.



Please announce when passing. Don't try to predict what I will or won't do. Let me know you are back there. Thank you.

No, no one walking on a MUP deserves to be hit by a bike. No matter how silly nilly. Slow down, announce your passes, take responsibility for your behavior. It isn't hard.

You missed it.

Since we are going faster and are on a vehicle, the burden is on us to avoid collisions with pedestrians on MUPs. Just like we would like that burden to be on car drivers on roads.
