It works good when used sparingly while negotiating through the rough terrain we've encountered in the forest.

We have not seen or heard of the rules for the bike paths...but we always ride with caution and show courtesy to other users...people with kids riding on training wheels or people with dogs etc.....less so when in the state forest unpaved roads, where we see a lot less people and ride a little more aggressively.

Wife was riding close...right behind me on the street....she asked why she was always catching up....had to explain the concept of drafting to her.
