Do it!
While I'm healing up from my accident I've noticed more and more pedestrians in bike lines in my motoring arounds. It gets my blood flowin'. I've often dreamed of what I'd say the the first jogger(s) I come across running in the opposite direction in the bike lane. I'd love to say this:
"Excuse me? Hi. Excuse me? Yeah, hi. Can I talk to you for a minute? Great. Yeah...I just wanted to let you know that I've survived being hit by negligent motorists twice now. And with all the drivers I gotta watch out for I don't need incompetent pedestriants endangering my life is well. This is a bike lane. Your sidewalk is right there."
