Although this complaint is fairly minor, and it usually only happens on slow-moving roads like Duval, why do joggers consistently jog in the bike lane? Sometimes it's even two abreast, jogging against traffic. I'm all about sharing the road space, and I understand that the sidewalk is often broken (keep it weird Austin!), but they hardly ever attempt to move out of the way. Did some jog authority inform them that running in the bike lane is a good idea??
