I ride many paths outside TV like Santos, Baseline trail, Withlacoochee etc. These all allow walkers bikes bikes etc. It is usually the walkers that cause problems, such as walking 3 or 4 abreast and hogging the path, walking on wrong side of path (these paths all have signs to keep right) or they are walking untrained dogs that lunge as you ride by. I always ring my bell but amazingly, about half of them step to their left. Anyway, if bikes passing you on 15 foot wide paths is too scary maybe invest in a treadmill.

If walkers walking 3 or 4 abreast and dogs walking on the wrong side annoy you "STAY HOME" that is not a safety issue. Riding a bike on a walking path 10 MPH while passing a walker or dog is a danger to all involved. Anyway, if those walking abreast with their dogs are to scary for you, maybe learn to ride your bike on the MMP or invest in an air bike.
