Not that I would, but no sidewalks to ride anywhere nearby.

Not really, not yet. I have passed a pedestrian or two, and have noted that if you say anything, or make a noise, they tend to turn to the noise, and right into the way. At the same time, they are so random, that you can't count on them just stepping right out in front of you anyway. Most of the places I ride (locally) are trafficked roads, so veering wide isn't always an option either.
The other reason I ask is more of a "so I know" kind of thing, as I have started riding more regularly on a PATH route, that has other bikers, joggers, etc. sharing the "road".
Thanks for the tips guys.
