the bike shop's write off report on a destroyed bike?

Pedestrians tend to walk out on me (and indeed other cyclists I see) no matter where I ride - I nearly got knocked off by one when I was overtaking a queue of traffic that was turning left (I was going straight on) and he just ran through the gap in the traffic on the left and straight into me - silly prat. The other ones that do it the most are around the centre of town where there are a lot of traffic lights/bus lanes/speed bumps - I can be in the centre of the bloody road and they still just absent-mindedly cross the road - not looking (usually on the phone) staight in front of me.
I have taken to actually saying - stop walking out in front of me - quite a lot now around town. There will be a thread somewhere about "crazy lady who shouts instructions to peds"!!!
Are you seriously saying that pedestrians don't ever do anything dangerous around you as they have no comprehension of where/what a bike should be? I don't know how you manage it!
