I?ve always thought that the cyclist who has already crested the middle of the bridge (regardless of direction) and is heading down has the right of way and the uphill cyclist should slow/stop and move as close to the rail as possible. What do you think? Is there a written or an unwritten rule? Nate The unwritten rule that I use (and have heard/been taught) is to always yeild to the rider who is approaching downhill. If you are 'ascending' the bridge, then you yield out of courtesy to the rider on the descent.
