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