Bikers left, hipsters right - a photo on Flickriver

            Traffic info sign, Golden Gate Bridge.  I've never seen a pedestrian icon wearing a hat before.

I'm going to rant a bit here.  I've ridden and walked across the bridge many times since the 1970s.   When I took this photo it was 2 days before XMas and the bridge walkway had a lot of bikers and walkers on it.  It was a weekday which meant the walker and bikers were all on the eastern walkway (on weekend the bikes get the west walkway to themselves).

Here's the rant-- at least half a dozen times bikers would start yelling at pedestrians on 'their' side of the walkway.  The walkway is 10 feet wide.  Realistically, if 2 people are walking side by side and you want to pass them, you're on the 'other' side of the walkway.

I like to ride as fast as the next person, but c'mon, the impatient bikers yelling at tourists need to chill out for the 5-10 minutes it will take for them to ride across the bridge.

OK, rant over.
