The commute was rainy mid low 60s. Ended up going down when a ped. jumped off the curb right in front of me; she didn't look before stepping off and then froze in panic. The crosswalk wasn't asphalt, but cobble stone that get slippery wen wet. Went down on my right, doing my best to not hit the lady head on. Still ended up clipping her.

I'm ok, just a busted knee with no other physical damage. The lady was fine, just wet from falling. The bike is totally fine with just a minor rash on the rear rack.

A cop was waiting for a green and saw the whole thing. He pulled up behind me to block traffic while I gathered myself and chewed out the lady. I stopped him giving a jaywalking ticket; hopefully the lady learned her lesson. If I was a car, she would be dead.
