Sounds like a creep to me, I'd put the dog on him. I see it as a challenge to approach as many of the local trails as possible by bike. Reason dictates that I smile and toss a hello at anybody living on the approach routes. These are the folks that will let me use their phone if I have a major mechanical or scrape my carcass off the street. Of course, maybe he was having a bad day.
