Hello.

I have noticed that cyclists often use the road surface on 
MacArthur Blvd in places where there is a bike trail immediately
adjacent to the road.  

I don't know why some cyclists prefer the road when the bike
trail is also available.  I hope some cyclists could help
me understand this choice.  I understand and support the 
right of cyclists to use the road--I just don't know why
the road is perceived as better in this case.

I should point out that the trail is 4'-5' wide, as flat 
as the road and just about as direct a route.  There are 
no homes or businesses along this stretch.  The trail is 
not ever crowded during rush hour, even though the road 
can be busy and has no shoulder to speak of.

Thanks,

Damon Riley
