There's a stupidly designed crossroads where the cycling path crosses the zebra crossing. So of course no pedestrian looks for cyclists. IDK how it would be when you hit a pedestrian there because there is no zebra crossing on the cycle path itself which suggests the cyclists have priority.
I always watch out for crossing pedestrians as they have their eyes either on the crossroad lights/their phone. But this motherfucker was just standing there. Standing on a cycle path casually looking something up on his phone. I already slowed down so I ring my bell. Nothing. I shout. Nothing. Absolutely nothing until another pedestrian behind him shouts at him and gives him a push. Actually gave me a chuckle.
