Subject: RE: Cyclist etiquetteAs a biker and runner, I really appreciate cyclist yell "on your right" or "passing" when they approach. Especially when the path is not too wide. I have when I run and bikers just sonic-speed along my side. What if I tripped or wanted to move to the side? (and fyi - I don't use music/headphones, so hearing is not an issue for me ).
On the runner side, as a cyclist, I hate when runners listen to their music (or whatever ) too loud, so they won't hear bikers yelling anyway... I experienced it so many times, on a very narrow path (mountain biking ), in a difficult moment, when I really needed to pass... i was yelling like crazy, I almost decided to delicately ride on the runner's heels so that she would realized she was not by herself.... |
