I sometimes use a farcility when biking along a very busy main road.
This is one of these abominable "shared use" (pedestrian/bicycle) paths,
which is right next to the road (cars must cross the farcility in order
to find a park).
A couple of days ago I was biking at reasonable speed down this when I
saw a car coming towards me on the road, with his signal on indicating
he wanted to turn in front of me into a parking space. He obviously saw
me, as he slowed down, thinking (probably correctly) that I had the
right of way.
But I was thinking, this is a main road, lots of high speed traffic,
no slowing-down lane. It is totally dangerous for him to be stopped on
the main road at imminent risk of being rammed up the backside, just to
let a bicyclist past.
So I slowed and signalled for him to get off the road in front of me.
Did I do wrong?


Yes.

It started when you got on a child's toy.
