Uhmmm...the 'passing' rider also occupies space. So the no-look U-turner can't occupy that space. If we want to have the same privileges on the road as cars, the same rules should apply to a path as well. You can't just flip a U turn without looking. Half the time you say 'on your left' the person you're passing moves left. These are some of the main reasons I don't spend much if any time on bike paths and very little time on the road these days. The majority of people aren't willing to pay enough attention to do the right thing.
