^ Exactly. People come in all sorts and in all levels of considerate and friendly all the way to self-centered d-bag. Just slow down, be nice, and be at Least as considerate to them as they are of you.

Yeah but it's not even a trail or road or a real path at all, it is like the top of a mud wall that keeps the ocean from flooding the town. Guess the rule applies anywhere.. Damn peds What about people walking away from me, im faster by far so how do I yield to them when they are all over the place. GAH!! Im sticking to the woods!

I often encounter hikers on the local singletrack trails near where I live, so I'm a bit careful about downhill speed where visibility isn't good. Many of them will step off the trail, but I never expect them to do that as a matter of course. Hikers don't bother me (I'm often a hiker myself), but horses are another matter. Most horses that you meet on the trail have been pretty well trained, but a couple I've encountered have freaked out (even after I've stopped) and nearly thrown their riders. I always stop and ask if it's OK to proceed when meeting a rider on horseback.

People for some reason move out of the way if im biking with a smoke in my mouth for some reason, I did it just to **** with people and I found it funny the discusted looks old people gave me, most times im just in shorts, a wife beater/tshirt gloves and a dorag for the sweat and can't forget the shades (no helmet for moi)
