Owwwwwwwwwwww.

Similar experience yesterday....sans the awfull fall.

On my way to work down a residential street, we are 8 feet away from a crosswalk, eight (8) feet, woman darts out between two cars and jaywalks across from opposite side. I slowed (which ticked me off, just got a good head of steam) but instead of rushing to get across she just stops.

Gets "deer in the headlights look" brain dead, just stops in front of me stares, slack jawed like she's never seen a bike before. I come to a full stop and gotta admit I yelled "I'm going 20 mph lady if I was a car you'd be hurt or dead (I lied, 15.9 mph) pleeeeease use the crosswalk, it's right THERE!" She's still just stopped right in front of me, finaly moves. It's possible she did not speak English...

I think some peds do not understand we're the same or about the same speed as cars.

What I learned today from Cdalekat: alovera and ibuprofin at work.
