Good point. When pedestrians cross in front of me at lights (against the light, that is), it usually works by one person not paying attention stepping into the street, and the rest of the waiting horde following him. Then all of a sudden I'm riding at 25 miles an hour into a flash mob. THE LIGHT IS RED. WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET?
Then they look at me like I'm a horrible criminal
for riding below the speed limit, through an intersection, with a green light. It's so ridiculous that it makes me laugh nearly every time.
