I did that on the NOLA Levee MUP a few weeks ago. 3 lardasses were waddling side by side taking up the entire path...never mind the broken yellow line down the center that should tell you that there are lanes. They were headed in the same direction I was and had no idea I was there. Rather than alert them to my presence and watch in wonderment at the stupid reaction that would surely ensue, I slowed to 8-10 MPH and swung out well wide through the grass. I guess the noise of my bike caught one of the heifer's attention. She stepped right and wheeled around. She swung her arm out as she did and hit the curve of my handlebar. Stupid hurts.
