I ran into a pedestrian yesterday morning. I was turning left into the bike path just as she stepped off the sidewalk and into it, without looking up either at me approaching from the front or the cyclist approaching from behind... So we politely and very slowly ran into her from both sides
She cursed so loudly I could hear it right through my earbuds, I smiled at her and called "when you cross the bike path you really need to look up, you know" at her angry back. Then I biked on and went kayaking before work in the sunrise.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Oh, that could have been very much worse. Glad you're both okay!

Oh, but it was terrible. She bent my folding mirror right into the handlebars!
