I'm not saying you're at fault, i'm just saying you could have done more to prevent it.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. Not sure we were watching the same video but I did prevent it. I could tell that he was acting funny when he stopped pedaling but there was no natural place for him to turn - if you notice he turned onto a gravel walkway that parallels the path. The camera that I used was a GoPro camera that fits into a plastic case. That's why it doesn't sound very loud but you have to know that I don't ride up behind people and scream at them. I appreciate your comments but there is just no way to be able to always avoid collissions except to do what a lot of the members here do and that's stay at their computer and not ride.
