It's not a walking trail, though. I enjoy running/walking on the pathways, always on the left side. I want to be able to see oncoming bicycles. When I run or walk on roadways, I do the same thing. I want to be able to react if a car backing out of a driveway doesn't see me, for instance. The same goes for bikes (not the driveway thing-just in general). I don't want to leave it up to them to watch out for me as they approach from behind. By walking/running on the left side, I can watch bikes as they come toward me and be able to react. I have seen bicyclists looking the other way, at phones, or talking to a buddy, and don't want to rely on these people to avoid me.
