I haven't encountered a wrongway cyclist on a MUP. But, on the road, I'll generally glance back a few times, then pull left onto the road, or watch what the wrong-way cyclist does, and go in the opposite direction they move.
This ^^^^
I see a good number of people walking against traffic on MUPs, very few people biking on the wrong side of the MUP. Basically, the issue is that we teach people to walk against traffic on roads, but they think it applies to walking on MUPs or biking roads... and for the OP, biking against traffic on MUPs.
To the people throwing hate at the OP for the collision, really?!?! I've darted off trails to avoid these type of people, and with minor changes in conditions, I'd likely collided with the person riding the wrong way. It's like hating on a person getting into a collision with a wrong way driver on the road.
