Agreed, when I've been riding through any of the parks that I ride through on my usual ride I've seen way too many cyclists who are "hammering" down the sidewalk at speed. Regardless of how many people are walking. Also just as sad is that I've passed I don't know how many walkers/joggers/bladers who have the volume on their iPod so loud that as I'm approaching/passing/leaving them behind me I can hear their music.
