Yup, use mixed trails at the park. Cyclists are the worst. I actually have to stop myself from extrapolating that bias and just hating cyclists generally (most are cool).
Not only do they hog the whole road for cars, but then they want to wiz by walkers. I've been yelled at. There was almost a fight once. This boomer jerk could see me for miles ahead, but decided he didn't want to moderate his speed and yell at me instead.
Many cyclists have the attitude that they can do anything, drive at any speed anywhere, and the whole world should just move out of the way for them. It's super infuriating. I do think the park could use some bike only trails, but that's not what they went with.
Also, I repeatedly get annoying comments about walking/running on "the wrong side of the road", however that's simply good pedestrian etiquette (walkers go against the faster traffic). I do make an exception for hills, because that seems much safer; what kind of idiot crashes their bike going UP hill :)
Maybe I'm out of the loop and there's different rules at the park. I know I do listen to music constantly, which can be problematic, and am more careful now... but I see oblivious cyclists on the road all the time. It's annoying, but I never considered that I should just be able to drive however I please, run them off the road, and yell at them.
I just slow down and scoot by them when it's safe. Cyclists should do the same. Get over yourself.
