Rude?

[PamNY]

If a cyclist has crashed and is lying on a relatively narrow portion of a MUP, would it maybe be a good idea for passing cyclists to get off their bikes and walk past his prone body? Yes, there was room to pass -- but is it really good manners to cycle a couple of feet from an injured person's head?

I've seen this before -- I guess it had more impact on me today because I was birding and hung around for a while (though of course I moved away from the accident site).

The injured cyclists was protected; people had stopped to help and were alerting oncoming pedestrian and cycle traffic. But even after a fire truck, a police car, a parks dept. car, and two security company cars arrived -- people were still not walking their bikes around the scene.

I dunno -- maybe it's just me. But it looked disrespectful. I hope the guy is okay.
