Almost got taken out by a scooter. This one section of road is very busy and after leaving the bank I had to cross to get to the right side of the road. This is easier as a pedestian so I took the sidewalk for about 50ft to get to the crosswalk and got off my bike to walk across, cars will stop if your walking, not riding. As expected all the cars stopped and as I was walking across a scooter came shooting out between cars and just missed clipping my bike as I yanked it out of the way.
