In return, walkers and bikers should be aware of things approaching from behind so that, when it is safe and reasonable to do so, move aside so the carts can safely get by. If both parties play nice they will both be happy. If either party does not act with courtes, then both parties will complain here.
Courtesy of all parties IS THE KEY! You can see just from this post (and others) that some people (on all three sides, bikers, walkers, and carts) feel they are entitled and do not have to show any courtesy for the other two groups using the MMPs. Fortunately, I have found them to be in the minority. Unfortunately, they are the ones that shout the loudest and most!
