There’s a heated discussion on the local nextdoor about cyclist. So walkers don’t think cyclist should be allowed on the Capital trail. Some dog walkers think it’s not appropriate for a bike to pass them on the trail.
Probably the same people that complain when they see us on the road. |

People who ride e-bikes are likely ascared to ride on the open road. And for good reason. The open road has changed a bit since they were last on a bike.

Mrs datlas and I took a 4 mile hike on our local MUP yesterday. It was interesting to see the variety of walkers, runners, and cyclists. I saw stupidity on all sides. I really liked the dog walkers who were walking on the far right of the trail with dog on leash walking on the far left of the trail. A cyclist came by and had to nearly stop as a result. I think each one thought the other was a total French Shower. And they were probably both right.
I agree, negligence can be found in all parties. I have crashed due to pedestrians twice on the capital trail. I have never crashed due to a cyclist on the capital trail but I have come close. I can’t stand the people with head phones so loud they can’t hear me. I make three announcements and I let my wheel coast which is really loud. Most of the time I get a wave so I know they heard me. Sometimes I get nothing, so I slow way down to pass. I have gotten cussed out before after I announced multiple times and slowed down because they couldn’t hear me. Most riders don’t slow down, but after having a lady walk right enfront of me I don’t take chances. |

OMG
When you said mismatched wheels I didn't know it was going to be on the reverse aero plan. I’m trying to start a new trend. I swear it added atleast 50 watts to my climbs. |
