In any event, I understand the stress that concrete sidewalks put on one's knees. My runner friends all prefer to run on the asphalt as it is easier on their bodies. if a runner doesn't move over when I come upon them in my cart, I just use my mirrors to check the traffic, and move out into traffic to go around the jogger when it is appropriate. I have never found it to be a big deal. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had to go around a jogger, I encounter them so rarely. It isn't like there are thousands of them clogging up our streets and recreational trails.
EXACTLY Mickey!! I always try to move over as much as I can even hopping onto the sidewalk if there's a car following close behind a cart. If there's more than two carts in a row I do the same. I hate to jump up and down the sidewalks so I do so only when necessary.
