  • Trail: On your left
  • Sidewalk: Slow down, Pardon me, coming round your left (or right)

The main bike commute routes in many cities or towns are on multi-use trails, and it's unlikely that commuters (true of both drivers and cyclists) are going to slow to a crawl every time they near a slower user, especially if that's every 30 seconds or so. We have to recognize this, and design safe ways for cyclists, peds, and drivers to all get from point A to point B safely. Sometimes this means lots of good signage (warning to peds, telling cyclists to yield), and sometimes it means that multi-use trails should be separated, such as on hills, where bicycles will be moving much faster than peds.
