You don't take up the whole path and leave someone no space to go ahead. Especially at a corner. When there are clear signs on the path to NOT do so!

Plus, even if I was completely at fault, wouldn't you at least make sure that the person was okay? You know? Set an example for your kids?
and you can set an example for cyclists.

I had a very similar experience on a MUP on sunday. I stopped there to refill bottles, and while cruising on the trail, there was a dad with three kids. Two on bikes (one of which had training wheels) and another was on a big wheel.

I slowed down to less than 2mph. Slowly passed them and congratulated the kids for riding so far. They all started giggling at the alien in his spandex. As did I.
