As a pedestrian-commuter I've had more run-ins with cyclists in the past year than with autos. I've been in the middle of intersections in broad daylight and practically been run over by a cyclist. I always check before crossing and still there seems to be the impression that since a bike is nimble, they can zip through the intersection while you are in it. Not cool, yet when I've said something in protest, I've been issued the finger and the cyclist kept on going. What gives?
