Then I came to median that divided the path into two single lanes, one for each direction. A cart came from behind and began passing me. I shouted, “don’t pass me here, it’s dangerous”. He overtook me and ran me off the path. I flew off my bike, but fortunately, onto grass and I wasn’t hurt. As I looked up I heard him yell “F YOU” and take off. Nice guy. If you are riding in a cart, pls don’t pass a cyclist riding in a multimodal path with a divider median. Let the cyclist live and enjoy. The divider always ends within several hundred feet where it will be safe to pass.

When you are biking in a single lane like that Always ride in the center of the path until you are back on the two lane part. This way there is no way for a cart to pass you. They just have to wait till you pass the single lane.
