Is your hearing adequate? Did you forget to wear your hearing aid? Were you talking on your phone? Were you wearing headphones?

Give me a freakin break, and don''t yell at me. Be responsible and assure that your hearing is adequate. If not, stay off the path!
Deaf people have the right to walk on the paths. Some people are, you know. You could have a siren on your bike and it wouldn't matter if you were approaching a deaf person from the rear.

If you are approaching a pedestrian from the rear it is YOUR responsibility to act in a way that assures the safety of all.
