Good on you for being nice. I find it strange enough when I encounter a park maintenance or park ranger vehicle on the trail, but I’ve never encountered a random driver on it! I’d probably recommend giving him an escort back to the road so that he maintains a safe speed and other people know what’s going on (I would make him put his hazards on).
I think that’s a good spot (Maple/W&OD) for a flexpost bollard. There is clearly confusion for people wanting to turn into the Whole Foods, and most of the time the light is red, so cyclists will be slowing/stopping there anyways.
P.S. – While I can recognize the low rumbling sound from having the camera so close to the wheel, I must admit it does sound like a gas motor (but I know it’s an e-bike so no worries).
P.P.S. – I believe this should be on a thread titled “Another Another car on the W&OD”
The GoPro mounted on the front fork picks up a low rumbling sound from the ground, but you only hear that if the motor is off. when the motor is on you hear a light whining noise, that again the gopro picks up and amplifies it. The camera being low to the ground gives the illusion that I’m going fast, but im not.
Since we are on the topic now, my pet peeve is drivers who yell at my to get off the road, and then when I ride on a muilti use trail I get yelled to get off… so where do you all want me to go? what route can I take that will make everyone happy? I opey all trail rules and ride responsibly, getting to work without burning any gas or paying for parking. I’m not going to stop doing this anytime soon, FYI… Bike path is safer sometimes than the road.

Can you post one of those where everything goes perfectly? I’m trying to convince my better half to commute up L and the videos of woe aren’t helping things… maybe under a separate thread entitled “How the Perfectly Safe and Sane L-street cycletrack changed my life for the better while saving me $300/month in parking”
I’ve been trying to get a video where everything goes perfect, but it hasn’t happened yet. 99% of my commute is on separated bike/ped infrastructure, it’s just these last couple of miles that gets interesting.
