I ride a hybrid bike on the multi-modal paths. I like to have my safety in my own hands as much as possible. I don’t feel that way on Morse or Buena Vista, where my life is the hands of every car driving by at 40+/- mph.

On the path, I keep an eye out for carts. I can take my hybrid into the grass if needed for safety, especially if approaching or within the divided narrow sections. Appreciation is shown by most approaching cart drivers. That measure and typical standard bicycle safety measures will keep you very safe…and in control of your own safety…on the MMP’s.
