You should look before you step into the road anyway, even if you can't hear a car. It is good practice.

Actually, on a green man one SHOULD step into the road, as that is exactly what the green man is there for.
Of course, if there's a cyclist hopping the lights, then it's the cyclist's fault as they shouldn't have hopped.

Er, yeah I know
Last time I got knocked down by a cyclist I was on a fucking pedestrian crossing on a green man and they couldn't be arsed to stop at the red light.

Cyclists with dogs are particularly annoying.
Combo of twat, bike, lead and mobile shit machine is fucking dangerous.

Actually, some crossings are fucking ridiculous
and so big, that as a cyclist, if you go through a green, it can turn red and give the people waiting to cross a green man before you're through.
Once happened to me - i go through a crossing on green, and this woman and child steps out right in front of me and i nearly hit them. She shouted at me, and i had to point out to her that it was green for me when i went through, and she should be teaching her son the correct way to cross a road - to always look left and right.
