I'm both a runner and a cyclist... and I HATE people that run in the bike lane. ESPECIALLY when there's a whole dedicated path for you to run on.
In SF on the Embarcadero the sidewalk is HUGE and there's plenty of space for you to run.
However, I occasionally see people running in the bike lane on the street.
1. It increases the chance that you're going to get hit by a car.
2. You're closer to carbon monoxide from the cars.
3. You're risking getting hit by a biker
4. You're causing the biker to have to go into traffic and increasing the chance of them getting killed.
Thoughts?
