If common sense were common....I see Bobsled as a introductory trail for riding the Shore. Yes, I like to go full blast on it, but I tend to ride it at off-peak times. If I do see someone slower (a person, a child, or even someone's dog), it's easy enough to ease the brakes. For one, it sets the tone for etiquette for potential future regulars, and for another, I don't think there's any glory in pinning it on Bobsled (I can't recall seeing champagne and ticker tape at the end)...and if I still feel the need (the need....for speed), I can handle the 10 minute climb back up for another lap.
If you (by "you", I mean anyone.....from a young family with a Chariot in tow, to a decked out UCI wannabe) ride it at 5:30 on a sunny Thursday, or at 2:00 on a stellar Saturday, and there is a line-up of people prepping to go down, expect the issues that come with traffic.
If you want to avoid issues, off-peak hours are the smart choice....the mountain is almost empty before 11:00. I remember when my kids were little, they tended to wake up waaaaaay too early. Perfect time for a ride!
