fundamentally, it needs to be decided what the best use of that facility is. should it be protected as a uniquely valuable bike transportation route, or must it revert to the lowest common denominator of people bumbling around.
if it were for commuters on weekdays and slower on weekends, I think that would be reasonable.
it's not enough to say we support bikes as transportation- as a society we have to actively make it more feasible.
there are walking paths immediately adjacent to the CCT thru most of the bethesda section- so there are outlets if you don't like being around the cyclists.
and that Post article- mocking the cyclists as spandex dorks and lance wanna-bes. no mention of all the benefits.
Bring on the trail nazis...yay!!! Down with freedom...yay! Police everything...yay! Save us from ourselves...yay! Watch me every second of the day...yay!
Oh great Panopticon, I bow under your ubiquitous gaze!
