Allen is dead on about the trails here in Johnson County. March 25th, first really nice day here, the trails looked like a street carnival. People meandering around aimlessly, parents having big lawn chair parties while their kids were running wild and mobbing the playground equipment. I've abandoned the trails and parks and have also been strictly on streets. With the reduced traffic I can ride on just about any street I want. I don't interact with anyone, give road adjacent sidewalk users a wide berth and don't touch anything I don't take with me. From what I can see of the trails that occasionally run parallel to some of my routes, things seem to have gotten a little better. I did see a motorcycle officer patrolling the trail one day, so that may be helping the situation, but still not worth taking a chance on them while so many of the roads are now more easily traversed.
