Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
Maybe he was riding up the side of the path to leave room for other trail users?
Maybe but if space is that tight, slow down.

Or maybe the lad ran right into the middle of the path just as he was passing.
Right into the middle, without appearing at the side first... in other words, the bushes have grown out too far.

Not everything is avoidable.
No, not always avoidable by us, but people seem too ready to dismiss things as such, rather than ride further out or slow down.

Don't know the area but could have been a downhill mountain bike trail and they ain't designed for going slow.

It's the famous Tarka Trail. It's really not a downhill MTB trail. Much of it's canal side or former railway.
That just goes to show how how little you know about the area in question.
NONE of the Tarka Trail in North Devon is 'canal side'.

Suez canal? Or in England, I think the Bridgewater canal has none and there probably are more if you search.
Ok canals are man made, estuaries may be influenced by man but they did already exist.
