Racers riding a bicycle have the right of way over racers pushing bicycles.
When practical, racers pushing should stay on the least rideable portion of the path when being passed. A racer pushing or carrying his bicycle can overtake a racer riding his bicycle, provided he does not interfere with the rider s progress. Lapped riders must yield to leaders. Riders should voice the command track when overtaking another. It is the responsibility of the challenging rider to overtake safely.
