[QUOTE="dariosilva, post: 139136, member: 16093"] Cycled with my wife and kids (in their 20s) May-June 2012. Had no problem with pedestrians. We took paved roads most of the time but when on dirt paths with lots of walkers, we were quite aware of being courteous to walkers. Used bell and in passing wished all 'Buen Camino'. Walkers were eager to help when we had to walk our bikes up steep hills i.e Alto de Perdon. They would especially help my wife when they saw her huffing and puffing and walking her bike up a hill. Lots of 'need any help' when we were either stopped to fix a flat or re-track our chain. On the Maseta, groups of walkers tended to straddle the whole road. Surprising what getting off my bike and sharing bag full of freshly picked cherries with walkers can do for the spirit. My only complaint, although later became quite hilarious was the whistling at my 21 year old daughter and 58 year old wife as they would ride by groups of young European men. Great laugh at dinner time. I had a great time blasting down hills while on main roads. Would not have done this on trails with walkers, too dangerous for all of us. I also found auto drivers much more courteous towards bicyclist in Spain than they are in the USA. My thought is that there should be no problem between bicyclist, walkers, horse riders, etc if people keep the spirit of a pilgrimage in mind. Be mindful and remember that St. James was an apostle of Love. [/QUOTE]
