Every day I almost hit a pedetrian and it’s never my fault. I swear if I try to go one way the pedestrian walking makes an effort to jump in my way.

To sum up how bikers think let me quote a website:

‘It’s really annoying having to brake. You lose all your momentum and you have to push off from a standing start, which is where most of the effort in cycling goes. This comes under the heading of a Really Bad Reason to go through red lights, but it is the real reason why many cyclists do it.’ - Dominic Sayers

Pretty much saying bikers will try not to slow down. This plus the fact that pedestrians have the right of way will generally dictate that bikers will maintain same speed while avoiding pedestrians with quick turns or pre-planned paths.

Here are some examples of pedestrian encounters I come across at least once a day:

So you know what, fuck pedestrians. Take off your godamn mp3 headphones so you can hear me screaming at you when you don’t look both ways on the road. Here is some advice, if you see a bike, just walk like you were walking without seeing the bicycle because the bike has already thought out a path that avoids you.
