Dude just ride around him. No big deal.

You should buy him breakfast and talk about it.

Use code ST5 for $5 off your order

Ask to speak to his manager

"Bike behind" sounds kinda douchey; even if it is "proper" roadie-speak. That probably annoys him more than you riding up his ass

Almost like looking at a mirror for a cyclist

Yell "COVID" and start coughing.

What is the road like? Why not ride on the road?

No advice but I did have a similar encounter recently where an oncoming runner insisted on staying on the line separating the bike lane from the traffic lane. Same situation, nice sidewalk which most oncoming runners jump onto or hug the curb. A few of us approached and we couldn't figure out what he intended as he stared right at us. He just yelled at us to 'stay in the bike lane' so he could split the bikes and cars. He was wildly unpredictable as some swerved left and right to miss him. Some people just have odd rationale about how things work/should work and it typically stems from ego or competitiveness inappropriate for the circumstance.

Go buy an Air Horn and blast this mother fucker
He will shit himself or die !

bring a boathorn next time

You beat me to it - but yes at any boat shop or off of Amazon. I'd probably duct tape it to the front in a total non aero style. Yes, I have considered this before.

OK, I'm trying to give the guy the benefit of doubt -- it is a problem for older people to see obstacles while walking -- especially speed walking. Bifocals (even if continuous) mean that the view to your feet is badly out of focus. So cracks in the sidewalk are nearly invisible and dangerous. And for some older folks, their biggest fear can be of falling. So that smooth bike lane can be enticing if the sidewalk has trip hazards. If this is his issue, he might be making a mistake because the bike lane might actually be more dangerous rather than less. He might be happy to talk if you slow down, get off your bike and walk beside him for a bit. You can share your fear of hurting him if you get forced by traffic his way and he could explain what his motivations are. You might also consider slowing way down when you pass him as a way to de-escalate.

Coupla reasons not to get bent.

He's an old guy and bikes go by fast, pedestrians don't, in the current world, he might think it's safer (Covid wise)
He's an old guy, give it another month,....:0(
He's an old guy, he thinks he's fast.

What's the fine?

As for the knucklehead...take a deep breath.

It is a 2 lane highway, the road can be busy in the morning.

He’s simultaneously posting in a thread about a biker who refuses to ride on the road and yells at him every morning while biking by on the walking path.
