Pedestrian solipsism

I almost got taken out by a pedestrian by KCH, in Denmark Hill yesterday morning, who had run across the road from the bus stop. The guy riding in front of me did get knocked off, taking one of the pedestrians with him. 'But you were going so fast!' was her defence. Well, don't run across the road without properly taking in to account that a cyclist going downhill is going be somewhat alacritous.

Despite this warning only yesterday i also managed to take out a ped outside KCH this morning. Do hospitals give off some kind of aura that makes people feel invulnerable?
