Sharing the Trail

The Capital Crescent Trail. A Monday afternoon that felt like a Sunday afternoon. A jumble of humanity — and mammal-anity, too, since there were plenty of dogs on hand. 

Without realizing it, I went into auto mode. That's "auto" as in automobile, glancing over my left shoulder before "changing lanes"  Cyclists use the trail, too, and they don't always sound their bells in warning.

Sharing the trail sometimes means walking defensively.
