But we do have! It's called a mirror. From my rustiest winter-beater to my old English 3-speed to my go-fast (well, not so much in my case...) roadie, EVERY one of my bikes has a mirror. 'Course, I wouldn't expect every pedestrian on the paths to have a mirror. And I'm sure that's why peds are more often surprised by passing bikes on the paths than bikes are surprised by passing cars on the road. But that's all the more reason, as a pedestrian on a path, to look over your shoulder now and then. I'd be scared bleep-less to ride on the street without a mirror. --------------- Paul T.
