In the five years I've been riding in London, I've really never had many problems with pedestrians. Sure, they like to wonder into the road with ear-phones on without looking, but they're soft and squidgey and they don't break my bike. Mini-bus vans like the one this morning however...they're not so soft and squidgey.
A few months back though I did hit a drunk guy who was pushed in front of me by his friends. Boy oh boy, that must have really, really hurt him. He was floored, but I managed to make myself look mildly graceful, all things considered. I didn't hang about for fisticuffs. they were all quite pissed and scary.
