There is a column in yesterday’s Seattle Times with more information about Velda King Mapelli, the Renton hiker tragically killed in a bike collision on Cedar River Trail. She was an active senior, accustomed to walking many miles at a time on Renton’s trails. Click here to read the column.
Are we really sure that an active lady who had used this trail a lot “jumped out” at the bicyclist? Sound’s like that excuse just flew out the window.
Now that I’m a bit jumpy about bikers – two just rode about a foot away from my kids at least at 20mph on the Cedar River Trail.
Harvey Manning was right – Mixed use trails are a farce. The loudest and most obnoxious form of transportation takes over the trail.
