Gambithunt Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It's fair for both parties to move. Also better to move and voice your opinion the the offending trail hogger rather than cause an accident. DIPSLICK 1

Agteros Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Just as cyclists expects motorists to look out for them, sure just like that cyclists must look out for pedestrians? Amazing how cyclists want to be the victim of entitlement on the one side (cars vs bike) and the hero of entitlement on the other (vs a lesser mode of mobility). Bigger/faster/more dangerous MUST take care and practice courtesy to those who are 'lesser'. ALWAYS! Good on the OP for standing his ground. Bicycles (MTBs) should be able to traverse the unevenness next to a footpath with greater safety than a pedestrian in any case. So why force a pedestrian off a road, and to a standstill just because you have an easier mode of getting around? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Skylark, slowpoke and 4 others 7

Damm ......I could shove some chop of the trail right about now for a propa cup o coffee!!
Agteros Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It's fair for both parties to move. Also better to move and voice your opinion the the offending trail hogger rather than cause an accident.When I'm on my MTB I tend to move off a narrow path/trail just enough so that the approaching party MUST move off the trail as well. So when we pass each other, neither will be on the trail, but just next to it. Uni 1

And he didn't stand his ground. When he was about to get moered his traillies intervened. This is going nowhere just like the Hein vs diplomat thread.

M L Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 If we want respect on the roads then we have to give it on the trails. Fast downhill section, is a pedestrians responsibility to not be there or not be hit. Most other places we should make way if possible to do so. We come from behind and a pedestrian often don't see or hear us, can't just ride your line and hope for the best. bebop 1
