Piggying back on this to say: if you're a pedestrian, please don't stop in bike lanes. Especially if you're dressed in all black at night and I can't see you. There's a whole ass sidewalk that you can stand in instead of obstructing traffic.

"Piggybacking" a post about pedestrian safety with a comment complaining about pedestrians getting in your way is just as shitty as when people respond to posts about cyclists being hit by whining about cyclists biking through stop signs.

But pedestrians in this city don’t know how to cross the street. Almost took out a GW student in foggy bottom because she decided she just had to run out into the street and run down the block even thought he sidewalk was perfectly empty.

Absolutely. As a former (and hopefully soon again) bike commuter, this is very frustrating. I get way less mad at these people as a cyclist than I do bad drivers as any form of road user, though.
