I'm so sorry. It was so rude of me to be on your path when you were going for a leisurely bike ride along the lake. I mistakenly thought that the city's path was for everyone, but clearly I was wrong.
I had 11 miles scheduled this weekend and due to the fact that I was lazy, I had not run this week which left me unprepared. This is why I was walking along the edge of the path and was not able to keep up with the other bikers. Just because I am running and not biking is no excuse.
I am so incredibly sorry, you see, I thought that walking on the edge would have left you enough room, especially given the fact that there weren't too many people around. But that was foolish of me and next time I will be sure to move completely off the path. In fact, why don't I just stop this silly marathon training completely so that you have enough room for your rides? Yes, I will do just that. No more running for me.
In the future, if you feel the need to inform me of my weight status I can be seen walking down Michigan Avenue to work everyday, unless of course you are interested in biking there, in which case I will gladly re-route my path, or just quit my job.
Once again, I apologize greatly for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I know how hard it can be navigating a bike through a wide, paved path. If there's anything I can do to rectify this in anyway, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Oh, and one more thing ...

You know what would've been awesome? If you "all of a sudden" rocked into a dead sprint and knocked him over, then commenced walking.

I agree, you should have knocked his dumb a*s over...or hit him with a rock. Both options I totally agree with and stand by.

thank you for not projecting that a$$ face's rudeness on to all bikers. don't worry about him, he's just sad that he isn't as awesome and motivated as you.
Chin up, Connie. Some dude yelled at me that I was too fat to be riding a bike. I've lost 44 pounds this year dude. Don't worry, I'll soon be at the proper weight to ride a bicycle.
HA! That's probably the same guy who yelled at me and the couple of girls I was running with that the path said, "Bike" on it. I yelled back (after taking a second to think, since at this point I was about 4.5 miles in and not thinking fast enough) "That's funny, I thought everyone gets to use the path."
