I've been to some areas where the walking trails have recently been taken over by mountain biking* and it's really fucking annoying.
*Latest Fad
I get where they're coming from, there are some trails here that have existed longer than the cookie cutter neighborhoods that were built around them (I'm 40 and started riding those trails when I was like 12) and they advertise the "walking trails" nearby. Not so bad when the walkers are on the clearly marked walking trail part, but when they wander onto the mountainbike trail part and then act shocked and angry that there are bikers moving fast on the clearly-not-for-walking trail it can be annoying. Also the walkers who have their off-leash dogs with them who get mad at me because their off-leash dogs chase me.
One thing both walkers and bikers can agree on though is that the horse riders who keep poaching the bike and walking trails are the fucking worst. They tear up the trails and often scoldingly tell the people who are using the trail properly that they need to make distance for them because their horse isn't "good" around people.

This is only semi-related, but I hate urban sprawl for killing so many motocross circuits. A motocross circuit is built out in the middle of nowhere. Years later, urban sprawl consumes the wilderness, and the new residents complain about the noise from the motocross circuit. The circuit is shut down.
Racetracks of all types are doomed to this fate thanks to sprawl, it's lame. I believe there's some developers behind a big push to shut down Laguna Seca, lol. Imagine making the argument that Laguna Seca is too loud when "right next to Laguna Seca" was part of the sales pitch for your tract home
I wonder which developer could be interested in shutting it down... definitely not the country club with bright a bright green golf course in the middle of the desert.
I saw a video of a guy that almost got hit by a car the other day. He saw it coming and in his panic he ran directly towards where it was very obviously careening into the sidewalk.
These people are soccer goalies at heart. Get in front of and catch the incoming danger!
Cyclists slow down around pedestrians challenge:
Impossible.
Disclaimer: this is a joke. Unless you're a cyclist and legitimately mad at this joke, in which case I'm being completely serious.
