What happened to ‘stop, look, listen’?
Irrelevant. Assume as a rider/driver that people don't stop, look, and listen. (Why should they?)
The drivers/riders of vehicles with more momentum - ie more likely to cause harm, have more responsibility to look out for walkers/joggers.
As the Highway Code says: ride at the speed to suit the conditions

Not sure this has started since Corona, but it’s definitely got a lot worse - pedestrians, especially joggers, not stopping at zebra crossings.
It doesn’t help on badly placed crossings that sit directly in line of a route - e.g. between the paths on the two sides of Victoria Park, or others that you approach that are obscured on either side so you can’t see people approaching them.
What happened to ‘stop, look, listen’?
As a driver I’m always anticipating anyone near a crossing to just dive into it, sometimes at 90 degrees with their back to me, it’s just behaviour that eventually leads to accidents.
