I comute on my bike everyday
and people don't seem to realise that a bike in a lot of places goes just as fast as a car. Every other day someone steps off the pavement in front of me and it pisses me off.

There was no bike when we started crossing it came round the corner when we were in the road.
A car driver would be expected to slow down in that situation.

Ah yes it was our fault, all as plebby pedestrians are all cunts.
despite the fact that it was the middle of the road length with maximum viability to each way.
Even though I didn't mention where in the road we were crossing you just had to assume the cyclist was innocent.

So...
You'd followed the green cross code, of course, yet a vehicle which rarely goes faster than 20mph managed to reach you - and have to dodge because there wasn't time to brake and stop - before you'd got half way across the road?

Aaaaand another thing....
do you treat children and the blind as cunts if they cause you to slow down by stepping into the road?
Car drivers are expected to look at what type of person is on the pavement and if they are able to see / comprehend you are coming and if not you get prepared to stop.
It is for that reason electric cars are having to be fitted with some kind of sound system to alert those that cant see you coming.
