How fast do you ride on paths/trails?

I’ve been thinking about this since last summer when I first got into biking, but want people’s opinions.

People ride way too fast on the local pedestrian trails. Mount Vernon, O&D around Arlington, etc, you’ll see bikers flying and winding and weaving through runners/walkers/little kids. I had a gross interaction with a guy when I was on my bike where I was slowed behind a few walkers, as there was a biker coming towards me in the opposite direction, and the biker behind me sped in front of us and flipped me off, but in the process nearly caused an accident.

I think that if you want speed, head out and ride the country rods in purcellville or Potomac. The trails around DC are amazing in that they encourage people to get an outside and be active. You shouldn’t really be going more than 15 mph ish on these trails when there are people all over.

Am I being a Karen? Bikers have a bad enough rep but some of yall are just so arrogant. Nearly kneecapping grandma in your MAAP jersey and S works bike
