I keep hearing this, but when walking, I’ve been passed by almost as many bikers as the number of walkers I’ve passed on my bike. And I have never experienced the rudeness that I keep reading about in this forum. I’m painfully aware that there... -
So because a large percentage of pilgrims are so semiconscious that none of my efforts to avoid startling them work, I should be banned from the path? I don’t think so. I have never hit anyone, and I do my best to make them aware of my...
