A jogger doing 10 mph is not unreasonable. That's a 6 minute mile and a lot
of joggers do that in 5k or 10k runs. So should joggers be on the right side
of the road or the left? This whole thing boils down use common sense and
stay out of harms way.
BTW way I believe on the ARP bike trail it is pedestrians on the left facing
traffic and the vehicle code may say that also. I know my first grade
teacher did.
Bye, got to run. (Then ride after that.)

great idea! here's a first draft:
1. bicyclists on roads have the rights and responsibilities of
motor vehicles
1.a. bicyclists on roads have the option of acting like pedestrians
when no vehicles in motion are anywhere in view
2. bicyclists on sidewalks have the rights and responsibilities of
pedestrians
2.a. the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians are as follows:
TBA
can't help noticing that pedestrians are allowed on roadways
without any training or certification.
