Okay, time for the next lesson. Is everybody ready? Good.

In Loring Park, there are several paved paths. The ones nearest the ponds are the walking paths. The ones farther away from the ponds, with the green dashes painted on them are the BICYCLE PATHS! Please do not walk slowly in them, particularly not two abreast. And if you do, please do not get pissed off when bicycles speed past you, the rider directing an off-colour epithet at your person.

Last night, biking through Loring Park, on the bike path, three sets of people were having a pleasant stroll on that path. Not on the walking path, a mere 10 yards away. And a couple of them looked rather old, frail, and a little slow-moving. May I suggest that walking on the bike path is really not that much different than walking on the street? It’s not that bad around the lakes in Uptown, but for some reason, Loring is a different story. I’m not sure why.
