Pedestrians with deathwishes were out today. 6 near misses.. lots of deer-in-the-headlights looks. Was heading down Wall St and going around one of the security abutments when some guy stopped dead in his tracks and stared at me right in the 3' space I was trying to go. Thinking he didn't know what I was trying to do, I just track-stood (??) thinking he'd shift to one side. He just stands there till I'm like "could you move, please?"

And the nice weather means increased foot traffic on the bridge.. which means clusters of those double-wide strollers being pushed by women ignoring the directional arrows on the path and not paying attention. It's a little annoying when they walk side-by-side on the narrow part of the path and they don't move out of the way for anyone (bikers, walkers, runners, whatever).
