As we went around them they apparrently said to my wife that "Bikers need to say excuse me"! We kept riding. Any thoughts on how to handle this other than creeping up to them and blasting them with a marine air horn?
Seems a bit trollish since he hasn't responded, but maybe he doesn't check the forum that often. From
his post, it seems to me the issue of obesity might be mentioned to impress upon us how much room the 3 ladies might've been taking up. Obviously, boozergut and his wife should've warned the walkers, giving them the opportunity to get into single-file or something, but the walkers should have been on the other side of the road and definitely not walking abreast in the first place(if it was a road and not an MUP). Answers to his question quickly degenerated into a lot of inappropriate comments about the situation and counterattacks rather than sticking to the OP's topic(or perceived topic in my case, I suppose
). One of these days I will break free from this train wreck that is the A&S forum. Not today, tho.
