  • ...with some cycle training you'll never worry about hitting pedestrians again. You'll be able to anticipate what they're going to do...

    The issue is not predictability; they are, almost without exception, arrogant, stupid and entirely devoid of any sense of self-preservation. Knowing that, they're reasonably easy to avoid. I've only ever hit one by accident, and he was drunk and performed a really impressive U-turn in the middle of the road after I'd taken evasive action in response to his blindly launching himself across 4 lanes of traffic some 20 yards from a perfectly adequate pelican crossing.

    To say that pedestrians are predictably stupid does not excuse their stupidity any more than saying that MPs are predictably thieving scumbags excuses their thieving scumbaggery.
