In cities we all should ride with caution because a pedestrian could step into our path at any moment. They have every right to wander into the carriageway - however foolhardy it may be on their part... but in the same way that we argue HGVs have a higher duty of care to look out for cyclists sneaking up their inside (however foolhardy that may be on the part of the cyclist), we as cyclists have a duty of care towards the more vulnerable (foolhardy) pedestrian.
Did I say foolhardy enough?
