I don’t know. When you’re on a multi-use trail you need to keep in mind there’s mixed traffic, and others can’t always see what your kid or pet is doing. You probably shouldn’t yell at the kid, but as a parent it’s your responsibility to keep them safe, which includes not letting them volunteer to get run over by a bike. I got yelled at by a dog owner once because his dog ran right at front tire when I came out of a blind corner, a tight blind corner so I wasn’t going fast. When on a multi-use trail control your dogs, control your kids, and control yourself.

A stick to the spokes should do it.

“When on a multi-use trail control your dogs, control your kids, and control yourself.”
Bikes are going 15-25 mph, it is not responsible to let toddlers wander around combined bike/hike trails. Its the same as walking on the shoulder of a busy road. toddlers should not be doing this because they have no comprehension of the risk. For example the President of the United States might be riding on that bike trail !!

That's right discostu, when I'm on the trail I look for families with little kids. I intentionally speed up hoping one of those little brats come too close or blocks my way. I pretend I don't see them and just slam into them. Then, as always, I start screaming at little ones and then threaten the parents.
