    Why You Should be Concerned Riding on Bike Paths and Multi-use Paths!

    Well let's get this new forum jumping!

    ======================

    We all should be concerned when riding on paths that we share with other cyclists, runners and walkers.  You never know how someone will react when you pass them;  they may not hear you or may suddenly cross into your path!

    Bob Roll a/k/a Bobke has an excellent video showing an encounter between a jogger and a cyclist.  Bob Roll was a pro cyclist, before he become a sports commentator and now has his own YouTube Channel.  It appears that the jogger was wearing earbuds and never heard the cyclist coming.  Imagine an entire cycling group riding into a sutuation like this...

    And here's the video:
