Simply, peds are just as distracted and unresponsive...sometimes even more so.

I'm not in any way a sidewalk nazi, but you're 100% in the wrong here. The sidewalk belongs to pedestrians, whether on their ipods or not. They didn't cause your endo, you did. If/when you ride a bike on the sidewalk, it's your responsibility to avoid pedestrians, not theirs to avoid you.
