By Posted By: cschwehr - Wed Jun 10 12:19:38 EDT 2009 Upside Good trail to take a couple bikes and a chariot if you're with your kids. Also good for a run or a walk. Some paths are bike only or run/walk only. Downside Lots of rude people who don't care about respecting others. Quite crowded. Comment I went on this trail with my wife and son. We both have helmets, bells, lights, etc. I found very few people signal to others when they're passing, and then I had a runner who specifically sprinted to make it hard for me and my wife to carefully and maturely pass him. Wow. Some of the rudest people in Calgary use this trail.

The northwest part heads through the neighbourhood which takes away a bit. Bikes can only stay on the pavement. Comment I'd do this again, kind of like a Sunday stroll. A good loop to get some fresh air.
