Crazy PEDESTRIAN!

[DirtDiva]

If there's not room to get past I usually just call out "excuse me" and ride through whatever gap gets created. It seems to work most of the time.

I really think they should paint a broken line down the middle to divide it into "lanes" - because the number of people walking four abreast is astounding. Then when I am riding toward them, few even make an attempt to move over to their "own" side of the path - and they're looking right AT me coming toward them - hello??!! I have been forced at times to slow down and go off onto the grass/berm in order to get around them.

YES!! This drives me mad! There have been times when I've been *walking* my bike as close to one edge of the path possible and they still don't move! Do they think I'm going to jump over the edge into the river or simply vanish before they get to me? Once or twice I've even had dirty looks for being in their way! WTF?!?
