I say this as someone who commutes by bike whenever possible -- there are some real assholes riding on the paths. It turns out that riding a bike does not change who you are, fundamentally. If those cyclists owned diesel pickups, they'd be coal-rolling with the best of them. I used to cross a bridge to get to work. There was a shared pedestrian/cycle pathway, about 6 feet wide, with cycles yielding to pedestrians. I remember walking across that one time with my family, including my daughter who was about 3. This one jerk rang no bell and blew past my entire family, about a foot away, at 20+ MPH. I didn't even hear him coming from behind. 3 year olds are prone to random movements. If she had moved by a foot or two at exactly the wrong time, it would have been a very bad situation. On the plus side, the cyclist behind the asshole (who properly rang his bell and passed us) stopped at the end of the bridge to apologize for the first guy.
