That part we can agree on. A bit of mutual respect and understanding goes a long way, but those two things are sadly lacking when it comes to transportation. I think a lot of us are culprits in that though- many bikers don't try to understand and respect pedestrians any more than pedestrians try to understand and respect bikers. Which is what this whole debate really boils down to.
