Since the moose can run as fast (maybe faster, depending) as I could hope to do on a bike, coming across a moose on the bike path is a bad thing. The worst thing is that the moose will likely not notice me approaching. This is a problem already encountered by cyclists and bears on park trails. And startled animals are generally no fun to be around.
I know they get wildlife in the ravine. When purplejavatroll used to deliver newspapers, we came across deer in the ravine. And there've been news stories about moose before.
I honestly don't know what I'd have done if I had come across the moose. I tried to be extra vigilant, hoping to notice the moose first and then play the situation by ear. But I think it would have been bad.
