Did you mean a retractable leash that allows extension? I’ve never seen a non-flexible leash - that would mean walking the dog at the end of a “stick”! :loco:

Maybe a better solution is for you/bikers to not be on a walking trail.

Well this discussion has been totally confusing.
Walk on the right, the way you should. Walk on the left, facing traffic.
What about the guy walking the other way on the path, toward you? Where do you want him to walk?

Regardless of what the rules are, I'd walk facing traffic so I can see bicycles and e-bikes coming at me. Some rules are just too stupid to follow, and the rule that says I should let e-bikes and regular bikes approach me from behind, unseen and unheard, is one of those rules.

1) Multimodal paths are NOT roadways. Walk, run, bicycle on the right-hand side of path.

2) When overtaking anybody, pull left (assuming no oncoming person, cart, bicycle) and give audible notice (voice, bell, horn tap)

Oh, and glance behind you from time to time to see if anyone is approaching

Blowing by someone walking a dog, is really stupid, because the dog is on a leash and could move out in front of the bike, which could be deadly for the dog and the bike rider.....

They are referring to walking trails, where there is NO vehicular traffic at all. No golf carts, no cars. On walking trails, pedestrians -are- the traffic. You can't walk against yourself. The pedestrian has the right of way, and bikes need to take extra caution when passing them.

If everyone did what they were supposed to do, there'd be no problem. On a walking trail, everyone is on the right. There is no "against traffic." Bike riders call out or use a bell to alert pedestrians that they're about to pass, and dog-walkers keep their dog properly heeled on a short leash.

and you be sure, after you've been creamed from behind by a bike or e-bike you neither heard, nor saw, to let the paramedics know you were obeying the rules. That will make your broken bones heal much faster.

In our community rules seem to mean nothing. Just ask the golf cart riders in automobile traffic circles.

I guess you are supposed to have eyes in the back of your head. No matter what side of the path you walk on there will be traffic coming from behind. My opinion, and I won’t change my mind, walk on the right like you are supposed to.
