the Washington Post had an article begging the question, "should runners run in the bike lane?"

then... there was this article where a cyclist and a runner each give their take on the shared space issue
it irks me...
the runner in the bike lane thing
beyond the runner in the bike lane
the running against traffic runner in the bike lane really irks me
I say NO!
NO RUNNERS RUNNING IN THE BIKE LANE
I also say NO!
NO RUNNERS SHOULD NOT RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC
NO RUNNERS SHOULD NOT RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC
although I do not run now... for years I ran and ran quite swiftly
but I am not certain if I ran so self righteously
runner against traffic? that is logic that seems to be shared by a small percentage of runners
sadly.../ no one else got the memo and no one else gets the logic
then this running in the bike lane thing?
well... it is interesting
why?
sure... maybe for a block... but not for the duration of the ride
then also... with some sort of acceptance of the other users of the bike lane
as a cyclist I tend to ride "creatively"
always trying to put myself where I feel most safe
always trying to put myself where I feel most safe
I am not sure of the runner's logic
not sure how running in the bike lane would be a safe spot to run
not sure how running in the bike lane would be a safe spot to run
what is the logic?
