I live down south (Hawkins). It happens down here too. We ride the pedestrian/ bike paths too but it is not unusual for us to ride 25 miles in a day and you can’t really do that without using the multi-modals. People are people everywhere. Most people we meet on the paths (north and south) are safe, courteous, and friendly. But one person carelessly putting someone else’s life at risk is one too many and we have encountered a few.
