I think it's a great idea from the outset.
Yes, there will be bugs to work out...like mixing electric vehicles with bikes with pedestrians...different speeds, different widths, different worlds. But work through that, and it will take some giving and compromising on all sides, then we could end up with a great place for community interaction. In this day and age of people sitting in a crowd staring at their iphones in total mental isolation, any step to reconnect human beings one with another would be an accomplishment.
I can see myself going for a run, then getting a ride with some older person in a golf cart and buying them a beer when we get back to the starting point. Or doing intervals on a mountain bike, going hard on empty, desolate stretches, then slowing to a crawl and making conversation with others as I got to crowded areas. This could work. It will take people participating with one another, not dictating to one another, but has it not always been thus?
Besides, it'll open up the opportunity for another Warning Sign thread on the board here. I can just see a few years from now ..."37 people have died on the CV 50 during the past 5 summers. Don't be the next!"
