I did learn something from this thread.
I didn't know that there was a speed limit for the multi-use path.
The idea of bikes being on the road makes a whole lot more sense now and they just gained a lot more respect from me.

Is there really a speed limit for the path?
I know there was one proposed, but I've never seen a sign (not that my motivated coast style o' bike riding is in any danger of violating it) or heard of anyone getting in trouble for it.

proposed speedlimit for multi-use path is 8mph. Two days ago, the BCC had its first public hearing regarding the proposed rules for the multi-use path. Next one will be two Tuesdays from now, in Defuniak, at the BCC meeting.
Yet one more reason why SoWal.com is awesome. When I first moved here and encountered cyclists on 30A, I was very annoyed and couldn't for the life of me understand why they weren't on the bike path, where they would be out of my way and not forcing me to go slower. Yes, I know, I was being both ignorant and selfish - lovely traits... (I never pulled a gun, made a rude hand gesture, swerved wildly or honked though, even when I was having a REALLY BAD DAY, geez...)
Then I read several posts from cyclists, whose points of view I would probably never had known otherwise, and learned their side. Taking a few extra moments to slow down and safely pass them is now just a regular part of driving on 30A... so simple to share the road, and what a pointless waste of energy to get all worked up over it.
