But it doesn't matter---the point is that the MMP is a SHARED path/road. That means cart drivers have no right to run cyclists off the road or endanger them. Likewise, it means that, when safe, slower "traffic" should allow faster traffic to pass. It does NOT mean that trikes can block everyone else because they "have the right" to be there.
In essence, I agree 100%. Only hold back is last sentence. I would have opted for, "Just because they have the ability to block traffic does not mean they should. To do such a thing is inconsiderate and rude and potentially very dangerous."
Is that change alright with you?
My hope, actually more of a wish, is to see all parties getting along in a friendly manner rather than an adversarial manner. Showing kindness and consideration for one another. Everyone could move more easily and efficiently, and more safely.
