I have another wrong-way story. A few months ago, I saw a cyclist riding the wrong way on the sidewalk. Double Whammy! I thought if this guy doesn't know any better, he's asking for a death wish. Just as I passed him, a car pulling out of a small street, knocked him off his bike. The driver that hit him, was looking for oncomming traffic, not at sidewalk traffic coming from the opposite direction. He had been parked at the intersection looking for a gap in traffic and the cyclist rode right in front of the car when the driver was looking the other way. Even as a pedestrian, I don't walk in front of cars without the driver's eye contact. If the cyclist had been riding with traffic, the driver would have seen him.
