haha, I find this kinda funny. I am definitly one of the people who will walk out into the road in front of cars...after all pedestrians have the right of way, and people do stop for you...so why stop walking out into the road?

However, pedestrians are the reason that I never ride on the greenways around Raleigh, I always ride on the road whenever possible, and when I'm not on the road, I'm going <10 mph. Theres plenty of places to ride in Raleigh without resorting to bike paths.
