Interesting, perhaps even a bit ironic ... Where I live I seen myself personally, and read in the newspaper of many incidents where pedestrians crossing the crosswalk, or even standing and waiting for a bus, nearly hit, hit, and even killed!!!
We have many cases of this happening where I live, every year. I've witnessed many times when people crossing a crosswalk when they had the light for crossing, and cars have come very close to hitting them! And me!!!
There seems to be many more dangerous incidnets involving pedestrians, at least where we live, rather than cyclists.
I wonder if statistics would shed any light on this matter comparing pedestrians and cyclists ... ???

Maybe a poor or very poor driver would.
Myself, I've had a few close calls with aggressively turning cars while walking the stroller across the crosswalk at busy intersections, and no real incidents of concern riding on the road with my child in a trailer, even on busier roads. This despite the fact that we ride far more than we walk.
How about that.
