^ But which stupid do you mean? Depending on whether the pavement was being used by anyone else, and how much of a dick I would look... but if there is a big wait, and an empty pavement I might do what he did... not wait until I saw the van, just pop onto the pavement immediately it turned red and start making my way. But, and this is the big question in my mind, how did he manage to hit the wheelie bin? I mean, how big are those things? How did he miss it? If he can't cycle (on road or pavement) without hitting great big obstacles in plain sight, then how can he be helped? It's only a matter of time.
