And in the court, if it's just your words versus jogger's words, you'd most likely lose. Judge is not gonna be sympathetic toward a cyclist vs jogger, and frankly neither am I (and I'm a cyclist). I see more ahole cyclists on MUPs than joggers. That's just reality.
This trail actually does not have a posted speed limit. I was going about 13-14 mph into a strong wind. This particular trail is about 16 miles long. Only about 4 of those miles are heavily used by pedestrians. I make a point of not speeding through crowded areas. I concede your point about ahole cyclists and i do not think joggers that do u-turns are aholes, just dumb. That said if I don't have someone coming the other direction and only one jogger to overtake i don't slow down but i am rarely going over 18 mph. On an 8 foot wide trail slowing down in case someone is suicidal seems absurd.
