Bottom line boys is that our paths currently accomodate, walkers, runners, roller bladers and cyclists. As a result speed limits need to be in place to keep everyone safe. I recognize that 80% of cyclist/roller bladers ride in a manner that makes other users feel safe and comfortable but there are 20% who have no clue.

Until we have a double path system( one section for walkers and runners and one for bikers and bladers) speed limits need to be enforced.

On a side-note I was recently in Seattle doing some walking and riding. The bikers are awesome there. they always yell out "on your left" when passing and are avid users of their bells. Until this is normal in Calgary I think the police are out there to do their job.

Steevo, to use your argument it's like the director transportation and infrastructure encouraging people to use public transport and then all the busses speeding. There are rules for a reason...not trying to be a dick
