I suppose there is some sort of point you are trying to articulate? That cyclists
are maniacs on the road, reckless reprobates oblivious to their surroundings?
Everyone knows that!

Has anyone else on this list been yelled at by someone pulling out of a

In Boston I would barely DRIVE in the streets, much less run there.

Running Times
I see it so many times that I really wonder if
they are being told to do so by some running book or
magazine. Has anyone seen anything published anywhere
telling people to run in the street? Is there any
logical reason? Like running up and down curbs is
dangerous or unhealthy for some reason?

Lots of interesting responses to this query. I, too ran on the roads,
rather than the sidewalk, whenever practicable - and, yes, facing traffic.
Softer, much easier to keep a rhythm, fewer intrusions of people, bikes, etc
- all the rasons others have cited.
But let me URGE those of you

were on the streets

running shoes - and red necks. That really

After reading Once a Runner, I asked Jack about this story. In the
novel, Cassidy runs over the length of the car. According to Jack, he
would just run over the hoods of cars that would pull out in front of him.
He compared it to taking the water jump. This makes the story less
fantastic, but
feeling. Moral of story - look both ways before you pull out.

Well, here in California, people pretty much run on the sidewalk if there is
one.
Maybe the people running on the street when a sidewalk is available are the
same jokers who drink so much that they get hypernutremia or who attempt a
marathon on 20 miles per week (wait, I did that once!)

Assuming the street is asphalt, that suface is softer than concrete and thus
is less likely to cause overuse injuries like sress fractures. I also
personally find curb jumping and uneven sidewalks awkward and disruptive to
my rhythm. Perhaps it's all in my mind but I prefer the street.
Obviously there is a serious safety issue in many streets
and roads, but one theory that I've heard every now and
then is that most roads are paved with asphalt, while most
sidewalks are concrete.
And concrete is said to be a whole lot harder on the
muscles and the joints than asphalt (asphalt
