On Saturday I was riding on the MCP paths with my two boys, 4 and 6. On same morning, I took off the 4-yr old's training wheels and we practiced in my neighborhood before going to MCP. So naturally he's wobbly but doing well.
As we are riding along, I hear a hyper-urgent voice from behind, "passing on the left". I nod my head.
Then the voice says in an even more urgent almost hysterical tone - "keep your kid on the right". I should say the 4yo did well enough not to crash into people on his first day!
I look over and it's some fat white dude riding an expensive roadbike like he's in the TdF, really trying to hammer
The paths are packed. People with strollers, dogs, children, rollerbladers, nudists, etc.
My response to that was "if you comes close to my kid you will be hurting." He heard me and went off the path about 5 yards to go around us. Moron. Why would anyone pretend like they're seriously riding on a packed path?
