My advice is BE CAREFUL
I was riding a bike with 3 others - not abreast but in a line that was loose enough for carts or other bikes to pass thru so we were not interfering w anyone and we were adhering to all signs & protocols. We were on a MM path which went through a tunnel. In the tunnel carts purposely & maliciously drove me into the side of the tunnel where my arm was scraped badly against the cement wall. I was not in their way. They thought hurting me was fun. I am athletic enough that I didn’t fall or crash, which is what they probably wanted to see. I really could hardly believe people were being so nasty & vile towards me in TV where I was used to ppl being so friendly & nice. I do think the carts would have hurt me even more if I had been alone. It was February so these may have been tourists.
