Would it bother me close just that section of the park to bikes; not really. Thou whole subject could be avoided if people would just be courteous. Yes, some cyclist think they own the path as do some of the walkers. I ride, run and walk the River Park and I understand both sides of the argument. Bikers, announce your passing and watch you speed. Walkers turn down your Ipod so you can hear those approaching and don't walk more than two abreast.
