Indeed. As I love to re-tell here, we had a bicycle path along a river here
in Toronto. There were incidents with cyclists and walkers (it's called a
"bike path" by the way..there were actually signs asking people to walk on
the grass..to no avail..) and everyone thought what a great idea it would be
to "twin" the trail..leave the existing paved one for cycling/inlines and
have the second, new path as a more scenic, linestone path for walkers. Up
go the signs "Cyclists/Inlines" on the paved, "Pedestrians" on the lime.
Sure enough, pedestrians now use BOTH trails!! I really don't understand
people. Women with prams actually use the paved trail now instead of the
lime!! Why would they do this?!!? Such risk and for what?? Anyway, I find
the whole thing rather depressing and actually avoid the trail to ride on
the roads. Rather a shame really.
Cheers,
Scott..
