However, our MUTs are shared between pedestrians and cyclists and cyclists should not expect to be able to go 30 or 40 kmh along them and not expect to have to sometimes slow down for pedestrians. The trails are not racetracks, but I regularly see some cyclists treating them as such, weaving around pedestrians at high speed. This is dangerous. There are alternative routes if a cyclist wants to go that fast.(06-22-2021, 08:11 AM)Acitta Wrote: So go slower, it won't kill you, or take an alternate route if you are in a big hurry. I find it annoying that some cyclists complain about pedestrians the way some motorists complain about cyclists.
We've already had the discussion where we point out that complaining that the infra is insufficient for the users it is seeing is perfectly reasonable, and it's equally annoying for you to tell me that I shouldn't even be allowed to ask for better infra so that I can get places conveniently.
