Courtesy Goes A Long Way

There have been some lively discussion on Irvine's Nextdoor about cyclists being jerks on shared use paths - some examples from people being slapped by passing cyclist and being screamed at to get out of the way of fast riders who belong on the street. We hope none of that behavior is from BCI members but there is a lot of extra traffic on our share-use paths & worth a reminder to “DON’T BE THAT GUY”

Here is a link to posts from Savvy Cyclist. This is the first of two posts by Keri Caffrey about being safe and considerate on shared-use paths as a bicyclist — and a pedestrian. Please enjoy and share!
