almost hit by a cyclist this morning

[MadMike]

I almost got hit by a couple of idiots on bikes at the beach last year. I was crossing the street on the way to the boardwalk, and I had both a green light AND a walk signal. Next thing I know, the two idiots flew right across my path, maybe a foot away from me if even that. I guess they thought that red lights were only for other people.

no sidewalks here period. we have "share the road" ... tho the cars get really pissy and start honking when you dare to ride close to the edge of the road.

We have sidewalks here and there in town. Mostly newer or nicer subdivisions. The sidewalk I run on near my parents' house will have bikes occasionally (my parents' bike up to the grocery store on the sidewalk).
I was running once with headphones on and all of a sudden a bike passes me on the left (I try to run as close to the right side as comfortable). I was startled but realized I probably didn't hear a warning cause I was listening to my music.
