I didn't say anything about slowing down. I simply suggested watching
out for dangerous situations and reacting accordingly.

<sigh> another blatantly ignorant and useless opinion from the floriduh
dumbass. You very clearly have so little experience riding on these
cycleways under discussion sheltered little recreational rail trails are
your only point of reference.
 
Yes, dumbass, cars can appear at an intersection of a bike path suddenly
enough that even an experienced rider proceeding in the safest mode
possible can be taken by surprise and possibly get hit - unless they do
exactly as was proposed, slow to less than a walking speed at every
intersection, making the use of such cycleways essentially useless for
any real transportation mode. The fact that you don't recognize this is
clear proof of your ignorance to the issues.
 
Tell ya what, dumbass - how about you leave these discussions to people
that actually have experience in this area? Your ignorant vapid opinion
is quite useless except for the point that it very clearly displays your
narcissistic arrogant ignorance.
 
fucking moron...

It's been many years, and I don't know if it's still the same, but I
remember riding a sidepath outside Des Moines, Iowa that had a stop sign
for cyclists at every driveway crossing.

Similarly, when a vaguely similar on-road sidepath was first put into
our local metropark, they had stop signs for bicyclists at each and
every one of the 13 pull-off scenic view parking spaces. They also had
rows of 8" thick bollards before and after those parking spaces, that
cyclists had to squeeze through.

Thank goodness they don't do that nonsense here where I ride. I know
hat silliness is not  everywhere in Ohio, too, since I've ridden in
other places in Ohio.

The sidepaths I ride on have no obstructions of any kind. There are
little stop signs where the paths cross a street or road, but nobody
pays attention to them.

I used to wonder what sort of cyclist would think something like that
was a good idea.

<LOL>  Something like that?   Apparently Krygowski can't post without
strawmen.

At any rate, those who are too timid to ride those sidepaths are free
to ride elsewhere.
