I also know walking near my house (Southern/McClintock) on those streets that I can't go far without being buzzed by some sidewalk cyclist. My wife was hit by one who came from behind unannounced about a year ago. If one is going to stay on the sidewalk when passing peds, at least slow to their pace.

which I do. I maybe see 2-3 peds along the sidewalk part of my commute on Broadway. Keep inj mind my commute times are not rush hours.
