A Madone on a path? That ain't a gentleman's touch, it's totally poseur.

Changing position without a head check is a bit of a rookie move too...you are lucky that schmuck wasn't passing you. Perhaps you need to stay on the path...not checking before changing position while on the road will give you and your Madone a really bad day.

The guy was a dweeb for saying something though...you meet those kinds when you ride Madones on the path.
