SPDCA:

Dear Escalade Owner,

The Municipality of Anchorage deems it legal for a cyclist to be riding on any pathway, with the exception of sidewalks in business districts, including roads shared by other vehicles, provided that the cyclists are at the rightmost portion of the pathway that is safe and reasonable (exceptions to be made for dodging road hazards, animals, pedestrians, etc.).

So when I'm in the road for a few hundred yards because I had to dodge your pre-teen children blocking the walking path, you don't really have a legal basis to scream "SIDEWALK!" while doing your best Roseanne Barr impression out of your window. I understand if this is how you give back to your community, or show compassion to other human beings, or perhaps simply show your leadership ability by leading by example.

I hope wherever you were going was important. And I do appreciate you taking the time to get into the other completely empty lane so as to give me some distance. That is something.

- Josh
