Attempted to yield road to cyclist on right but was not given road clearance by cart driver!

Came to full stop...got heads up...from cyclist (WTF!)!

Am I supposed to "thread the needle" or what?

Same story with some joggers.

I was taught to "ride with traffic"...is it different on cart-paths?
Cyclist was in the wrong. They are supposed to follow traffic laws and ride with traffic. If he was approaching you, he should have been on your left/his right. I would have stopped too, if I were squeezed like you were.
