By sheer miracle I have only hit one. A male zombie drunkard J-walked across a narrow one-way street right in front of me. I weaved behind him but just then he pulled the old "oh, I forgot my dentures back at the bar" trick, spun around like a stunt man and stepped right in front of me as I was avoiding his path the opposite way. My front wheel went right between his legs and he was scooped up on my flat handlebars. He rode there (bending my NightSun headlights that he didn't see at like a million watts) until I could stop about 20 feet down the street where I set him down nice and easy on his feet. He sure felt that the next day and probably thought he had been running with the bulls or something.
