Shenanigans / Transit This is what it's like to ride a bike on the Beltline's Eastside Trail on the weekend (Update)

Especially if you keep your head tilted at a 45-degree angle (for a little while). Consider the people to be "challenges" or "scenery," not obstacles!
UPDATE, 1:49 p.m. A few commenters - OK, many commenters - have noted the large number of people standing and sitting in chairs on the Beltline path near Parish. We reached out to the restaurant for comment. A spokeswomen replied via email:
Thank you for reaching out. We were overwhelmed with this years response to our annual Mardi Gras event thanks to the beautiful weather. We did arrange all of our furniture off the BeltLine so there would be a clear separation. However people ended up setting up their personal chairs on the BeltLine. Next year we will know better. We need to provide another area for these folks off the BeltLine so bikers, walkers and Mardi gras goers can exist peacefully. We always want to be kind neighbors to the BeltLine. Our regulars and staff live on it and use it. We will make every effort to make sure our attendees know the boundaries next year.
