While I agree with the guilt of enjoying rail trails

• I no longer cycle on them: it’s not enjoyable because they’re so crowded
• we have some that are very useful for getting places, usually train stations
• the one across my town goes through neighborhoods, so I’m sure they’re happy it’s not trains
• there’s a plan to build my towns third train station, and one of the requirements is connecting the rail trails
• I realized just last summer that my favorite diner is only 1 mile walk if I take the new rail trail!
