Soooo... okay, i gotta ask just what the HELL was he thinking training and drafting along the LFT???
i'm really very sorry that he was kayoed for a week, that sucks, no doubt, but c'mon kids, it's a multi-use path, not a country road!
You don't drive hell-for-leather on a residential street (i would fervently hope!) so why oh why would you ride at speed on a recreational trail?
I'm glad he admitted his fault in going 30 mph on the trail. We have a treasure here in Chicago in the LFP. Of course people of all kinds are going to be attracted to it. I think the poor design is most to blame but doing something about that is not a quick fix. The LFP needs to be seen as a recreational use path with casual speed biking. I'm actually glad that the Times ran this article and I don't see it as sensationalist. I hope it does not serve to deter anybody from using the path, rather I hope it increases awareness for those who continue to use it. I think the best thing about the article is that it is the first time I've heard of any type of plan to remedy the path around Navy Pier.
