True. This is a busy commuter trail getting towards commuter traffic time. Most others I passed waved or looked or moved right even when they didn't have to. Got a couple than yous. He had plenty of time to move after he turned around. Total deer in the headlights. Stupid situation. I've had plenty of close calls with pedestrians on the trails, but this was completely avoidable (usually, herds of them or lots of bikes or kids on bikes involved).

What really got me was when they started lying to me and making up stupid stories. Particularly the wife who hadn't turned around and had no idea what her husband actually did in the road. (Husband wouldn't talk, guilty bastard). If I have to follow the rules of the road on these trails, there should be no jaywalking. Made me want to call the park police on them. But I didn't seem to need emergency attention. I was just dizzy for a while from the nerve pain in my arm. I hate liars.

My friends tell me that the moral of this story is: Just run them over.
