Playing devil's advocate to the devil's advocates here - just because faster road users have a responsibility to pedestrians it doesn't mean they are always at fault. If a ped steps out close enough to you then there is no way to stop in time. You can ride away from the kerb, anticipate the movements of Peds you can see and slow down when unsighted, but sometimes someone will literally sprint out at you 10cm away and you're buggered.
