Pedestrians are the only ones 'unarmed' with something extraneous that could hurt others. They are going slowly and unlikely to run into a bike or car. Note, I'm not saying unlikely to cause us to run into them, some do seem directionally unstable. All the more reason for us to exercise caution. While crashing into a pedestrian might cause both a great deal of pain and injury it's our speed that ups the ante, isn't it? Two people crashing into each other vs. a walkerpeople and a bikerpeople, seems obvious which pair would likely be worse hurt.
