I have realised some thing recently, it is mainly women that seem to walk out without looking, I'm not generalising, I'm just stating an observation.
I have a had a number of close calls in the last few months and in each case they were women. Sometimes at crossings, some times at random points on the road. A couple of cases earphones were also to blame. In some cases they even look down the road straight at me, yet they still step out. Sometimes I have even stopped, and tapped them on their shoulder at which point they would jump out of their skin (which is hilarious and I love doing). Just to point out they should look for cyclists not just cars.
