I was walking along the river with my baby the other day. I had the carriage turned around and wheeled her backwards so the sun wouldn't hit her directly in the face as she slept. It's a 2 way path that people use to walk or ride their bikes. There are a lot of bikes that ride through during the day and it can sometimes be a hazard when they come zooming by. No matter what the situation is though, the walking pedestrian should be given the right of way and the biker should slow and use caution when riding on the path.
As I was walking, a middle-aged man came riding around me and yelled as he rode by for me to move more over to the side. I was not exactly in the middle and there was plenty of room for him to pass. I lost my shit. I yelled at him to turn around, come back and tell me what he had said instead of saying it as he rode by like an anonymous coward. He turned around and owned up to his beef and we had some kind words for each other. I had a few more words for him about his mother as he started to ride away and another biker lightly hit his bike from behind. He said, "look, you cause accidents." I said, "You are an accident." He rode away in disgust. I told him to tell his mom that I said thanks.
I don't like it when people say things from afar or anonymously. It's pretty douchy and makes you look like a tool. Man up, get off your bike or high horse and tell what you think to my face.
