The vast majority of people I see either standing still or walking slowly on bike paths are people under the age of 30 who are busy talking on their cell phones. If I am pedaling along at 15 mph I need sufficient sight distance to be able to stop completely when I encounter pedestrians. I avoid bike paths that do not provide adequate sight distance. There are too many stupid people that will walk along 4 abreast and then stand to converse in the middle of a bike path. I encountered exactly the same kind of people on the bike path along the American River in 1974 as I do now on the bike path in Monterey in 2023. There needs to be separation of bicyclists and pedestrians to avoid accidents and injuries. Everyone knows this but those who are in charge do not care about the little people.
