Don't tell the bikes to slow down. Tell em to open the other side up for bikes all the time especially during commute hours. Workers and peds should share one side bikes the other.

But seriously, now difficult it would be to have a temporary and cheap slow lane for bikes?

Mary Currie's "attorney client privileges": Huh? The GGBD would be the client and can disclose anything they like, even if they also told their attorney.

The first thing an attorney will tell you when they start represent ingyou is to be extremely careful about what information you disclose publicly, because you will loose any ability to prevent parties who are suing you from knowing it. Once you disclose it publicly, you loose attorney-client privilege in it.

That isn't to say that the GGBD shouldn't be disclosing this information.

• Ride single file when riders are coming the other way
• Keep right
• Do not make sudden stops and pull your bike as far over as possible
• Call out "passing on the left" before passing and only when it's safe to do so

And having seen a couple crashes at the anchorage I think people underestimate how narrow it is. There's plenty of room on those big concrete blocks for a sign saying something like, "narrow, slow down".

Two abreast I can plan for.

And Theo, frankly if you ride back and forth on that thing every day to get to work, some days you just want (need??) to get to work or get home. Just because the route from home to work happens to be spectacularly scenic doesn't mean you can't ignore that fact sometimes without taking it for granted.

That's a fair point. Cyclists should be very careful of pedestrians. I don't, however, think many have said that the less vulnerable is automatically responsible... If I'm cycling on the street and I veer into your car as you pass me (at a reasonable distance) then it's clearly my fault!

On the street, though, there are laws. On trails like this (I'm not a resident, but we all have trails with pedestrians) there are rules that aren't enforced by anyone. Everyone has their own set, and there's some overlap. These seem to be very common ones that most know:
* Say "on your left" before passing
* Give others a little room to wander toward you when passing
* Ride/walk to the right
* Don't take up the whole trail, preferably stay on one side

It's my opinion that cyclists should make up for silly things that pedestrians do. But if they jump into you as you pass them in a reasonable manner then it's their fault: You can only make up for so much.

Cyclists should do this because they're overtaking.

In the same light: Lance wannabes should watch out for tourists on bikes. In fact, watch them harder because they veer left faster...

I'm guessing tourists on bikes are about as predictable as kids on their first two wheeler... Except they're bigger so they can cross the whole right of way much quicker.

What happened to the rule that the less vulnerable mode of transit is automatically responsibly for the welfare of the more vulnerable.
