[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cyclist should not be riding on the sidewalk, or in the crosswalk. He’s an ass. [/quote]

This.  [/quote]

Fine.  Imagine it's a pedestrian, maybe someone pushing a stroller or a person in a wheelchair, who has to squeeze behind you because you're blocking the crosswalk, and slaps the trunk of your car as they walk past.  They are 100 percent entitled to be in the crosswalk.  [/quote]

+1 million.  I stroller walk a lot with my baby and it amazes me how many middle aged drivers don't back up out of the crosswalk so a person can cross with a baby.  Often we can't go around the car without being put at serious risk.  I've even made waving motions trying to get the people to back up, and often they don't.[/quote]
I live and walk in Old Town with a stroller all the time (sometimes not occupied because I’m going to pick up my kid). I have been almost hit so many times by people sitting in the middle of the intersection coming towards me on Henry. Now, I make eye contact with every driver before I walk in front of them just to MAKE SURE they see me. I am afraid for my child. [/quote]
