As they say, accidents happen.  But any particular accident need not happen 
and this one, well, after riding that path, I have to say someone screwed up.  
There is plenty of room to pass safely, it is actually one of the widest 
sections of the path.  

That said, since this is an organization promoting improved conditions for 
cycling, something ought to be done about the entire path...  

So I wonder this:  Is that an important path, does it carry a significant 
portion of the traffic between the Santa Fe Ave bike route and south along 
Mission Bay as well as to Garnet and Grand?  Do people take it instead of the 
surface streets?

Or is it mostly a continuation of the ride along the bay path with it's 8mph 
speed limit and myrids of pedestrians and runners...
