I dunno how people can mult-task, riding with one hand, keep pedalling and texting (which I find a nightmare to do, I hate using mobile phones)/or having a conversation.
I had a cyclist friend in southampton that got hit several times by a car, I never had been out with him, cycled to the pub once and immediately realized why he had such bad luck, he was creating it himself...
Texting while riding on the pavement, no signals, no lights and regularly RLJ. I told him in the pub he was a fucking idiot. The next day he I saw him texting while riding on the pavement at about 12 by the main uni campus, he hit a girl, luckily she wasn't hurt, but her boyfriend smacked him in the face.
If someone calls me on my bike, I pull off the road and then take the call.
