All feels a bit knee-jerk to me, this attitude that we must be allowed to ride anywhere we have in the past, even though, for whatever reason, a shared-use path may be under review. We should remember that, as privileged users of the most efficient and enjoyable form of transport, it is worth being tolerant if those less fortunate than us like peds and let them ban us, if they feel the need, with good grace.
I hope you can accept this comment in the manner in which it's intended: as lucifer's lawyer. You absolutely certain that riding on this particular bit of river is worth fighting for? Why? Shouldn't we be on the road? What's wrong with dismounting your bicycle and walking once in a while?
