Yeah this seems to be overlooked. The other day I'm about a hundred yards before the hill over there and this little kid is in the middle of the road just walking slowly. I decide to pass him on his left but I couldn't go all the way to the left because people were walking along the bike path, not to mention cars were in the right lane. So I'm going about 18 miles per, as I pass him he just decides to jet back to the bike lane. He narrowly missed kissing my back wheel and knocking himself out. Had I been going 16 there would have been a huge problem, I'm guessing I'd be at fault. Sh*t is unreal. People please watch your kids!

PS-What's the deal with people walking their litespeeds up the hill?
