Still, as an avid cyclist, I cringe whenever I see someone riding on a concrete sidewalk when it's right next to a diamond lane. The people I see doing it look like they can barely ride as it is, so it's especially dangerous. I suppose they are terrified of riding in the diamond lanes...
I also avoid the walking/biking paths south of 44. They generally have two posts blocking the path to keep out the carts and it's scary riding my bike between them. Let's let the walkers have a safe place to walk. Besides, there is usually a MMP or diamond lane nearby and I don't have to worry about all the obstacles in my way and I can ride faster. I won't even ride on the cart-accessible Marsh Bend path because there is a diamond lane in the road. It's much easier riding.
