We just returned from one of our favorite rides on Iron Horse Trail from Danville to the San Ramon Farmers’ Market. The path was fairly quiet on the way to San Ramon, but coming back it was crowded. This topic is one that I have visited several times. The trail is a thoroughfare, and people have no business blocking the path by walking more than two abreast or letting their children stray all over the path. Before you take your children on the path, folks, make sure that they know how to ride their bikes, preferably without training wheels. Also make sure that they know left from right and know that they need to stay on the right side of the path. Some older folks need to refresh their knowledge of left and right as well.
People who do not heed the rules of the path are a danger to themselves and to others. This path is a gem for our valley. Please cooperate in maintaining the safety of all who use it.
