LETTERS: Ear buds a safety concern

I ride my bike down Dallas Road often. I was going to try the new bike/pedestrian path until I saw all the signs telling me it was not open. No bikes were allowed, as they are still working on it.

I ride my bike down Dallas Road often. I was going to try the new bike/pedestrian path until I saw all the signs telling me it was not open. No bikes were allowed, as they are still working on it.

Maybe one of the reasons the pedestrians didnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t pay attention to a passing cyclist is because they can read the signs and werenB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t expecting any bikes to come up behind them. Just another example of a cyclist thinking that signs designed to keep people safe donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t apply to them.

This should be a reminder for everyone, cyclists included, that we all have to be more respectful and pay more attention to all those around us. I have seen many, many cyclists with ear budsB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·¦this is not just a pedestrian problem.
