Default Cyclers Beware

I was out on my daily bike ride today.99% of the time I stay on the roads.Today I wanted to see how the construction on the other side of the multimodal bridge(over 441) was going so I pedaled up the bridge.On the way down the other side I was going real slow,not knowing what I would encounter at the bottom.Once I reached the bottom I decided to take a left towards the dog park.The trail looked liked packed dirt so I proceeded with caution.Next thing I know I'm on the ground.The dirt slid out from under my tires and I fell.Like I said I was moving real slow so all that happened was I got dirty .If I had come down that bridge at a reasonable speed instead of being cautious I wouldn't have been so lucky!Some of the guys on the construction crew came over to see if I was alright.I told them I was but that they should consider putting up a sign warning future cyclists of the danger.Guess I'll be staying off these multimodal paths and stay in the road where experienced cyclists belong.
