Nope! Well. it has been a day without a new cycling related thread!
How about those masses of Boot Camp joggers on the cycle paths!
I like to go for an early morning ride arounds the lake, armed with my hooter and bell of course.
Of late, there have beem teeming masses of joggers, jogging in a group 3-4 abreast who get quite indignant that they should consider moving over and actually share the path.
I tips me lid to them for their endeavours but there are a few arrogant wankers amongst them!

That happened once to me too. I don’t know who was more startled.

I can fix that.
I’ve been lucky not to collide with a powerwalker and a runner who, on separate occasions, reached their secret spot and made a U turn with absolutely no warning what so ever.

You’ll have to flesh out that connection a bit more for me. I don’t quite see how a group of people doing sit-ups and jogging equates to a franchise in a commercial building. It’s probably obvious but I didn’t get much sleep last night…

using your reasoning we should allow subway sandwiches to set up shop wherever they like

Read the OP comments, KimF is not complaining about walkers but about the jogging Bootcampers hogging the path.
Found it after all:

This has been discussed in a previous thread. The arguments remain the same. I had a quick look for the thread but couldn’t find it.

Yes, we must stamp out this blight on our society! How dare people try to get/stay healthy in a park at 6am! I was planning on having a picnic there then! hahaha!
What’s the natural enemy of the personal trainer? Perhaps we need to introduce that species to get their numbers under control…
Sigh, i’m not sure if this is comical or depressing.

Hope this doesn’t sound nasty, but with CGN’s alias, I can’t help but picture him as the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons! I can’t help it with that alias! 🙂 Hahaha!
In California the personal trainers are causing such a problem that they are about to get regulated. Including licensing fees as well as a proportional revenue fee.

Oh, so busy! But you still manage to find time to read and post on Riotact all day. Ha!
Yes – Cyclists are all the spawn of satan. We are the worst people in the world. We love to kick puppies and pull tails of kittens – yadda yadda yadda.
This is getting old people.
Oh, now we have cyclists complaining that walkers are hogging the path. Reminds me of a time when I had to slow down for riders hogging the road…
Were the riders solid across both lanes? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that!

Hahaha! You really don’t have to scratch too far below the surface (12 posts in this case) to see that we haven’t evolved too far from the caveman!

Hahaha! Love it!

good call.
we can surface them in bitumen, paint lines down the center, and paint random bits green.

That’s what rocks are for.
The shared paths need to be much wider. Enough for 3 mummys pushing prams, 3 biddies with poodles, 1 dad and 2 toddlers on wonky bikes and even the occasional fitness class to fit on one side.

I have often wondered what would happen if I just went over and joined in?
Too bad I’m such a busy person I have no time to find out.
