To the walkers and bikers at the river front.

First , to the bikers, stay off the walking path. It clearly is marked where the bike path is and where the walking path is. It also clearly states that bikes are not permitted near the river walk where the railings are. This is for every one's safety. It isn't just a dumb rule some one made up. If you are biking along and get snagged by a fishing line, you will know it....


Second, to the walkers, be respectful, stay out of the biking lane. Keep you KIDS OUT OF THE BIKING LANE!! At no point is it a safe idea to allow a small child to casually saunter in the bike lane. A lot of that trail is down hill or has turns that are obstructed by bushes so seeing around them is a challenge... I have 3 young children and I can tell you that I have gone over and over where we walk and where the bikers ride. This isn't because I am a grouch, it's for their safety. Yes, bikers should be watching, but so should walkers. It takes minimal force to cause a head injury that can result in brain death or damage. Acting like it's no big deal is giving yourself a false sense of security. You wouldn't let your children play in the street with the cars, why would you allow them in a midst bikes that can hurt them just as easily. Don't forget that it isn't just bikes on that trail. It's bikes, skate boards, roller blades , the art trolly ( which is 2 golf carts put together, imagine getting run over by that), and the maitenance golf cart that goes some well faster then any biker....Use common sense and when that fails you, read the signs. You wouldn't drive on the wrong side of the road and just see what happens... so why ignore the signs else where?
