Don't EVER ride the wrong way on the sidewalk! In 2007, newbie me did just that. I was on the sidewalk outside a big strip mall, just about to cross the main entrance. A huge, lifted 4x4 was in hurry to exit the mall, just as I was starting to cross the entryway. Problem was...the woman driver was busy looking for oncoming traffic to her left, so she could quickly gun her right turn. The 4x4 was lifted so high I don't think she saw me. All I saw/heard on the corner of my left eye, was the giant chrome grille of her Monster Truck, F-350 Super-Duty approaching fast, and the sound of that Ford Triton V8 throttling to blast a quick right turn. Suddenly, I hear a young girl scream, "mommy STOP.....you're gonna hit the guy!!!" The driver's young daughter saw me just in the nick of time! If that little girl was not present - that truck would have easily rolled me dead...and she would have never known, until bystanders forced her to stop.
To this day, I "thank" that little girl....whoever she is!!!!
