Well intentioned, but naive.  Have you ever been on a so called "bike path?"  
You take your life in your own hands to try and bicycle on one here in NH, as 
pedestrians stroll along on one side of the path with their leashed puppy 
sniffing the bushes on the other side.  In line skaters barrel down the 
middle, alternately striding from one side to the other.  Now you want to add 
skate boards and horses too.  Pretty soon, we'd all become wheelchair users 
of such a path.  Thanks, but I'd rather take my chances bicylcing down Rt 95.

of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, 
but to skid broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, 
shouting "GERONIMO".
