I should not have to slow to walking speed, let alone dismount, when there is room to pass on the left side of ride)    [/quote]

Then why should a driver have to slow to bicycle speed? It's a parallel situation. [/quote]

It is precisely parallel, yes.

The cyclists must stay to the right of the yellow line allowing the driver to pass.  (if there are two lanes in the same direction, as there never are on trails, the cyclists must take the right most one, unless they are about to make a left turn)

The driver is fully entitled to pass the cyclist at speed, allowing sufficient room to do so.

IF there is opposing traffic, or a blind curve, the driver must wait until there is an opportunity to pass safely.

How is that any different from what I said about trails - I said cyclists do have to wait for a safe opportunity to pass, but they are not obligated to go at walking speed when there IS an opportunity to safely pass.  [/quote]
