ZMAN : I wish I could say that's shocking but I've had similar experiences. At least she didn't get you.
ZMAN : I always slow down at the crosswalks. I've seen too many kids on bikes just come flying out of the greenbelt. Even if I don't see anyone I slow down and look. If I do see someone, I will always stop and give them the right of way. That whole second it takes to wait and all.... and That is just awful that happened to you.
ZMAN : They don't! And I see it at schools walking the kids home also. It's sad more people either are not knowledgeable or don't care.
Do you slow down for people at crosswalks? When I'm driving, I always slow down and look to give bikers/walkers the right of way on the many greenbelt crosswalks we have in kingwood. As a runner, I've noticed most drivers do the same, I'll often be waiting for a car to pass and they will flash their lights to give me the right of way or just stop completely to let me pass, I always give a big smile and a wave of the peace sign to say thanks. But this morning while crossing in woodland hills, I swear a lady actually sped up when I was crossing to try to get through the intersection first, and came pretty close to hitting me. If you are that person,.... I hope you stub your toe really badly today.
ZMAN : No, I usually speed up.
eighteen : Im issuing you some toe stubbing juju today then.
ZMAN : I'll be sure to not wear sandals. 
ZMAN : Yep, I do. I recently saw a man on KW Drive that was jogging and nearly got hit, and I was very concerned for him. My son rides his bike to school, and I can't help but worry about those people that speed up. Stubbing their toes is one thing, but I would hope for more toe cramps for them instead.
ZMAN : No, I usually speed up.
eighteen : same. I don't want them waiting on me or losing their momentum/stride because of me.
ZMAN : It is the way things Should go, but with so many people More interested in their cell content, or themselves, bike riders and walkers can Never assume a driver will yield to them.

ZMAN, and if I see someone I stop...because I know what it's like to be walking or riding bikes with my kiddos and the fright that passes over me sometimes when vehicles do what they did to you today. This discussion has been locked.
