Most of the time peds are ok. Dodging them can be part of the fun. I must admit I don't mind screaming at the ones gliding across the road without thinking.
I've now done two sets of forks, a wheel and a headset on peds running across without looking. The worse part is that somehow I always get worse injuries than they do...
But... I'm embarrassed by the number of times I see riders shoot straight through pedestrians when the rider has a red light and the peds a 'green man'. It just gets us lot a bad name and the rider at the destination 5 seconds quicker.
