Not to be a prick, but I don't understand why people can't ride their bikes on a bike path like they drive their cars on the road. If you drive on the right then you should ride your bike on the right, not the center, and not on the left, it's common sense. I bet that's why your city painted the dashes, because they were having complaints, and accidents, because people lack common sense as to how to ride a bike properly on a bike path. Of course if you are riding with another rider and one of you is on the right and the other is on the left, then it's the responsibility of the person riding on the left to move over to the right, not the center, to let another cyclist pass, and to move over quickly, it is not the responsibility of the oncoming cyclist to squeeze more over to their right or run off into the grass, or to slow way down! Also, if the path is curvy and you can't see around turns to see if another cyclist is coming at you then you need to be in single file and not hogging the path. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
