The reservoir is a chill walking path for tons of elderly people that live in the area. Elderly people are obviously slow to react to anything really. If you want to cycle, there are tons of other options in the area where you can go as fast as you want and not have to deal with pedestrians.

Why do these pedestrians get to ignore the rules and not share the path correctly? Just because theyre old?
There are parts of the path system there that have two seperate paths. One is just for walkers, the other path is for cyclists. What do i see when i ride there? Walkers, meandering down the 'cycle only' path.
