Not wishing to stir up the "antis".
But:
Was having one of those semi enjoyable/serious silly commuter races into work this morning. Me on my double braked SS agains a young guy on a fixed with no brakes. Spinning along at about 23mph side by side with me progresivly upping the pace.
Off kerb steps I-blivious ped with a 90 degree instant direction change.
I stopped, (just), Mr Fixed collected ped in proper stylee.
They were both OK ish: Dents and scrapes all round.
Must be a moral in there somewhere.
Probably: Don't engage in silly communter races.
