There are all kinds of fun, including the kind that involves dressing
up in lycra, swinging your leg over a carbon wonderbike, hitting the

that you’re leading the pack up the Alp d'Huez.
I repeat: Where’s the harm in that?
Even a single rider riding like that on the local MUP is a great way to
cause accidents, plenty of harm there.
Then, there was the local racing club that used to come out en mass, 30+
strong, on a Friday morning and ride from Arlington north to downtown DC
on the Mount Vernon Trail in a double paceline that liteerally took up
both lanes of the bike trail. Commuters headed south were forced off
the trail onto the grass, and I saw a crash at the construction zone at
one of the bridges at National Airport as a south-bound rider was forced
off the trail. Plenty of harm there.
I wrote to the president of that club and told them if they didn't stop
I'd contact the Park Service and get them banned from using the trail,
and that ride ended.
