I was frustrated on a ride earlier in the week. South side of the river between the 10th and 14th street bridges. Group of walkers basically taking up the path walking my direction. Ding! They don’t move over, Ding…again, ding, ding ding as I am going past and they kinda shove over. Ahead is three husbands from the walking group covering the path. It was comical because the couple walking the other way had to move to their right to give these 3 space. I’m approaching, ding, no action. I’ve slowed a bunch because of the couple coming the other way so I’m passing these guys at around 10k ringing my bell repeatedly as I do so. Nope, they owned the path. I had enough and said something passive aggressive like “thanks for sharing the path.” I can deal with walkers and such as it’s a shared path and I don’t like the guys who rip past people, but sharing needs to go both ways.
I ignore the paths on the weekends for that reason. Much easier to just ride a nice road loop through Wildwood and Spruce Cliff.
