As is often the case, Mr. Doohickie assumes much and knows little. In fact, for what it's worth, the old lady accosted my wife and me while we were standing astride our bikes discussing the route. She was concerned that we might ride off and she was right. We are not particularly fast riders and are cautious around pedestrians. It's common sense as others have said.
BTW, the fact that slower users such as pedestrians on paths or bikes on streets may have certain rights when being passed does not give them the right to intentionally block others or to act recklessly. We all have an obligation to act reasonably, do we not?
