Taking into account how narrow this section of the trail was, I would say this guy's brain power is limited. To make things worse, I just couldn't do anything in that second of passing the other person, so he decided to pass on my right (having indicated a left pass) between me and the jogger. He was easily going faster than 25 mph. That was a close call for all three of us. So, even cycling on a non-trafficked trail could be hazardous
These self same idiot riders are also idiot drivers that pollute our roadways , and byways, with their stupidity.
Only death or a crippling injury will remove them from the flow of traffic.
