i have more problems with stupid pedestrians than with cars too....and lately, I've had near misses with stupid kids on bikes. One kid riding on his bike in the opposite direction (on a street with bike lanes on both sides) suddenly turns left in front of me and my friend- no signal, nothing. One kid just stood in the middle of a bike path, looking behind him, while I came around a blind corner. In both cases, the parents were right there. Don't they tell their kids anything???

I usually try to go slowly through busy intersections, but sometimes you get these oblivous pedestrians that just walk right out onto the street or bike path.
