That's cool.
It looks like you had better read up on responsibilities and
rights of
bicycle riders when using the public right of way. It's in the
traffic code in your
state. On Seattle's Burke-Gilman trail, automobiles crossing the
trail always
have the right of way and are protected by full size stop signs. If
the rider
is on his bike, he must stop and yield. If he dismounts, he becomes a
pedestrian with the rights of same and I would probably stop for
him. Otherwise, I
don't stop. BTW, the trail and streets are publicly owned.
And when I am planning a right turn, I get close to the curb to
prevent
anyone passing me on the right. Remember, when you are mounted, you
are a vehicle.
