Bikes: I don't own any bikes

You should not be riding the bike path... you can't expect everyone to be a "professional" rider like you. Paths are used by noobs, ****ers, families etc. and they have just as much right to the path as you do.

I'm a good and experienced rider and understand the value of holding a line. I thought I was alone and was pulling off to take a photo. Apparently the rider was on my right (blind side) and as I turned left started to pass. I assume now he was drafting behind me (without asking). I checked before pulling left. But as I said, I take responsbility for my actions and he needs to take responsbility for his. I had the right of way whether that suits you or not.

I diagree calling out causes problem... generally I don't SCREAM "ON YER LEFT!!!!!" I say, in a normal voice, I am passing you on your left, stay steady..." People get it, that aren't all idiots as you assume.
