I don't get that either. I've been running for 41 years. Given the choice I always opt for a sidewalk when available. We have mountain bikes at our home in TV. We ride the MM paths quite a bit and have no issues for the most part, but it's casual riding. We would rather bike than use a car or golf cart.

When we want a more intense ride we simply drive to Santos Trailhead and ride the trails there. Awesome place, and all we have to worry about is other riders and trees. lol.

I've been riding motorcycles since I was 10. I still love riding my dirt bike but I gave up street riding 8 years ago. Too many bad, distracted and impaired drivers.
