Dear Chappy Residents, 
Having followed closely all the comments and I would like to add my two cents! 
I have had several "close calls" with bicyclists between the ferry and Mytoi. Last summer, near Caleb's Pond, I was headed to the ferry with bikes 
going in my direction as well as in the opposite direction. I slowed down and was across the center line when I was passed, at high speed, 
by a motorcycle, which almost clipped 3 bicyclists, passing within inches of them. 
On several occasions, on Dike Road, bicyclists have fallen right in front of my car. The sand is soft, many are inexperienced 
riding in sand,and, if you are going slowly, the bicyclists cannot hear the car approaching. 
I find the appearance of the bike path in West Tisbury, along the airport road, to be very attractive, set off the road, meandering thru the woods. 
I would favor such a path on Chappy, particularly one which is a "soft surface" and not paved. 
Things change. The lure of Chappy will not be diminished by providing an attractive alternative for visitors and residents to experience our little island. 
Warm regards,
