Hikers are erratic. It's common when a person is walking to see something interesting and immediately walk towards it. It's Nature, and you are there to see stuff, right? (I catch myself almost doing this on a nearby shared use trail. I only avoid doing this because I'm aware of the challenges bikers face).

Expecting hikers to not behave like humans is foolish. 5mph really is about right for passing someone.
