as a rider, ive nearly hit a couple of people who play chicken. last one was a high school kid on a pushie, who looked at me and went anyways. i sped up just slightly, enough to change the cocky look to something else. funny, its always school kids. ive taken to swearing at them loud enough for their mates to hear.
when i was at high school, and push biked everywhere, i hit quite a few people... girls college tramps walking on the cycle track on the bridge when theres heaps of footpath, kids playing chicken got deliberately ridden into.
as a pedestrian, i have nearly been hit once, on a crossing in palmy nth. they werent going to stop, and i was already on the crossing when they got there. i was the one that got sworn at. wankers.
saw a dude on a 250 cruiser the other day, nearly collected someone about to cross at a crossing cos he was too busy staring at me... and, he was going to the aa, so upgrading license. dangerous. jerk off. that crossing has poor vision for both traffic and peds, and must be treated with caution from all sides.
