I definitely the biker should have stopped and confronted them. Although he was stopped pretty maybe he wrecked dodging the kid. But yeah it’s random out there. Oblivious people walking by side taking the whole path and not listening when you announce your pass then yelling that you scared them. People with those long black nylon leashes (that are invisible against tar) standing on one side of the trail with their dog on the other. The guy with mirrors on his handle bars making his bike a foot wider riding down the center line and not using his mirrors. So many dumb ass encounters I had on the trail.
Also narrowly missed a rattlesnake I thought was bull snake until I was 6 inches from him.
Got hit in the forehead by grasshopper which a nice coating of dust to hit both eyes blinding me for a bit.
The lady with the parrot in her backpack/cage. She wasn’t doing anything wrong, but definitely distracting and probably there were problems around her.
Lots of random out there.
I am reminded of the people I sometimes encounter at the grocery store.
They park their grocery cart sideways in the middle of the aisle while they stand for many, many minutes pursuing what sort of canned soup they want to buy and are completely oblivious that no one can get by them.
When you say, “excuse me” or ask then to move their cart or move their cart for them in order to get by, they get offended.
“How dare you interrupt my shopping by wanting to do your shopping.”
