At 3:38 you had the right of way. As a rule, whoever turns has to yield to straight traffic (including pedestrians); there are (very rare) exceptions, but that was definitely not one of them. I think he first did intend to stop, but then was very quick to decide your slowing down was meant to let him pass first (It also sounded like he was telling you that you had the right of way (while blocking your way)). Conveniently underestimating how ones momentum bullies others out of the way is a thing.
@@keinschwein8467 this is what I thought, but it is good to have confirmation from people that know the law. It was a very strange encounter and I do not understand why he would block my way while then telling me I had the right of way and then insult me at the end. This happens sometimes here in the US, but usually the driver apologizes, unless they are some young guy in a pickup truck. Then they use their middle finger to insult you. But that is rare here where I live.
Nice video, well done. I like the commentary on the go, more authentic than commenting afterwards (which is what I do because I don’t want to do the mic setup and operation)! Seems like you picked better routes this year - at least for the most part. I would stay away from bike trails, small sides roads (K-roads or farm roads) are almost leaps better than bike trails. Looking forward to watch your progress into the Alps.
Small roads are my preference, but in this area not always an option. A lot of them seem to be unpaved. Once I got to the Inn river, the options for roads became very limited as I’m sure you know.
@@mnveloguy true, by the Inn it is either the road or the trail; the latter being rather scenic in part but with some nasty steep climbs and a few very tight turns where you need to get out and push the velomobile - like that little underpass you went through as well.
@@rhein228 the little climbs didn’t bother me. I had very low gearing. The tight turns were a pain, but when I’m touring I’d rather go slow and have to back up wheelchair style sometimes so I don’t have to ride with cars zooming past me. If I’m going to have cars zooming past, I’ll just tour here in Minnesota. At least then I get a shoulder. The whole point of touring for me is to ride where it is quiet and peaceful.
Enjoyed your velo adventure and look forward to the next vlog
Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. And thanks for letting me ride with you. It was a pleasure even if the weather was not on our side 😅
