So I had my closest call ever today w/ some ped who decided to look RIGHT and then step off a curb. I think I could have shrugged my shoulder and broken his nose on the way by. It was such a sketch situation as well, because once I saw him start to move (5-10' away from me) there was no way I was stopping in time, so I actually tried to speed up and just cut in front of him in time. Didn't say a word, just blew by him and kept going. I didn't hear anything from him either except his shoe dragging to a stop as I went by, which is probably a good thing, otherwise it would have ended up in my rear wheel.

Oh well.

Edit: Wee, Halloween C.M. tomorrow! That should be good times. Anyone showing up wearing something entertaining?
