Well then some places are idiots. I am not aware of any laws around
here regarding forcing people to run with traffic coming up behind
them. Bikes and running are two very different things and the rule/
wisdom around here is that you ride with traffic and run against it.
Running with traffic is suicide imo.

I'd never listen to music running on a road, but I sure dig a nice
loooooong FOTM while running on a bike path (into traffic, btw...that
is the rule of the bike paths around here too, ride right, walk/run
left)..what a perfect running song.
