Normally I give a warning and if they're startled, frankly, tough. They do know they're on a "bike path", right? The only time I intentionally didn't give a warning I was riding through Brittingham Park and passed a guy running on the path in full Samurai armor. I even speeded up a bit so I could whiz by before he could draw his katana. To this day I can proudly say I have never been beheaded while riding a bicycle. ;)

Oh, and of course you're required by law to give an audible warning when passing a pedestrian, so it's really a question of how not if.

The rest of the sign would explain how it's used, and provide other tips (e.g. slowing down when passing) for harmonious trail use. If, despite that, anyone finds themselves annoyed or surprised, the sign's there for edification. <_Jym_> _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
