Agreed. Or worse you have a stop sign, the other direction doesn't and someone stops to let you go. It's usually unnerving because you don't know if the other lane is going to stop. I've often wished I had a sign I could pull out saying "I have the stop sign, you don't."

Problem is there are no bikepaths in the city. it's a pathway system which is shared by bikers, bladers, runners, strollers, grandmas, and everything in between. It's friggen scary riding your bike on the path within a km or two of Eau Claire. It's like the cyclist to you on a car - never sure what's going to happen. Worst are the bladers just because of leg action, they take up a bunch of room....actually they aren't the worst, the running classes are the worst because they don't run in single file and getting around them is super tough.
Every year the city does a bicycle survey and every year I put down the need for dedicated bike lines. Lots of European cities have a bike lane and a pedestrian lane.

There are a couple of people who do, but they seem to try and stick mainly to the sidewalks.
