That same couple also thinks that a Limbaugh/Gingrich ticket would be best for our country as soon as Sotomayer is not confirmed while contemplated who will be on the United State of Texas supreme court when ya'll secede...and they are walking against traffic? ;]rufismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589931195653470553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594888864828107491.post-83418791709581083312009-06-08T17:57:13.376-05:002009-06-08T17:57:13.376-05:00No, Bruce, it's not against the law. I'm ...No, Bruce, it's not against the law. I'm not at all sure that I'd want it to be. We are certainly plagued by too many laws already.<br /><br />I'd like our trail to be open to everyone except for horses and powered vehicles, to use as they see fit.<br /><br />Our trail is mostly 8' wide, with a few places where it's squeezed down to 4', and in one segment, 6'. <br /><br />I don't think that I've ever encountered three moms abreast, although two is rather common. Our trail might not be wide enough for three.<br /><br />I also find that walkers seem to be the least attentive of all. I suppose it's because they're usually engaged in conversation, and are concentrating on each other, and not much else. For that reason, if no other, I think it would be better for them to walk facing bicycle traffic.<br /><br />I can understand your concern about "Nowhere to go, and not much time to get there." For myself, I try to ride at a leisurely pace, had have never really gotten into any close calls. There are a lot of bike riders, however, who are riding for exercise, and could easily get into such a situation.<br /><br />My idea here, is that I think that it would be better for everyone, both hikers and bikers, if they'd apply the traditional "rules of the road" to the trail.Willie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320979729663692104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594888864828107491.post-49580313035554759712009-06-08T12:41:58.626-05:002009-06-08T12:41:58.626-05:00So long as we're talking warped perspective, i...So long as we're talking warped perspective, it's not unusual to experience just that when coming upon moms, three abreast, with ATV strollers - not an uncommon occurrence on many fine Seattle walk & wheel trails.<br /><br />Nowhere to go, and not much time to get there.<br /><br />8^ 0<br /><br />Is that against the law in Texas?!Bruce Moorehttp://brucecmoore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594888864828107491.post-31591656634861340652009-06-06T09:04:09.512-05:002009-06-06T09:04:09.512-05:00How could I possibly argue with that, man?
