Ped incident on april fools day....the second of the return commute.The first was worse but wasn't caught very well by the camera.This one was as the ped stepped out in front of me.

'USE YOUR EYES, MATE, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR!!!'

You were remarkably non-verbal!

I said FFS and just made my way...he apologised.

I only said that because I was tired so hence I was irritated at the time.

I've done it all before and it's a total waste of time having a go tbh.

Big bloke also I reckon if I'd have hit him it would have been like hitting a bus.

More vids to come as I look through my disks.

Sorry to read about your rear wheel on youtube but there was something comical about that.

I didn't find it funny I find it scary how people are so lax how they cross the road and disregard everyone elses safety.

As I say I despair now...Im wasting my breath now and im not surprised anymore.

I think I could have been a bit critical of Tynan the other day but two incidents in one day makes you realise sometimes people just cannot help themselves.

I fully understand.

I fully understand.

Both times it was up to me because basically the ped just did not have a clue about the danger they were walking in to.

That pedestrian did several things wrong there. He walked out behind a van that obscured him. He did not check traffic until the after the van, he assumed it was clear. He then changed direction without looking.

The man needs to reread the green cross code.

I've had similar Hackers. What rear wheel you running? I put on hope hubbed and just coast by with a fair ol racket I can tell you. I've had a few pedestrians run out but stop dead, I think THEY think I'm a motorbike

 

[hackbike 666]

Yeah I feel better today (no booze last night honest)...They do make it hard sometimes.

I totally missed what he was going to do and baffled by it anyway.I suppose seriously I couldn't really expect him to expect me there...when he was walking back.People can't be perfect all the time.Don't know what the back wheel is as it's covered in dirt.

Good god I really did have a little rant.

Tell him, I am sure he would appreciate it.

Odd how these things come in groups, you can ride without issue for days and days and then catch a "gaggle" of daft mistakes from others within one hour. I do somethimes wonder if we somehow "attract" the outcome the more frustrated we get in one day...something to do with our own emothions or attitude.

i really enjoy those days without incident.

 

[hackbike 666]

Dunno I was very tired that day,perhaps I would have seen the incidents earlier or done it different.

I.E never trust a group of peds,there is always one.(first incident)

Now have two cameras fitted...one making it's debut and the muvi on the rear.Still aint worked out how to do split screen and to make it worse some tit unleashed a virus on my main computer last night so now im trying to fix it.So I have to start again.

Kids-type bells work brilliantly. A couple of tings every so often in a busy pedestrian area makes sure they notice you.

The ting sound is like no other background noise.

Admittedly on the first I was trying to be kind and not use the horn on the peds,bit stupid really.I have a car horn fitted.

Second one as posted on the start of the thread the ped changed his mind so I had no time to use it.

Don't worry they notice the car horn when I use it.I've had some stunned looks a few times.

Of course when peds hear a car horn they expect to see a car.
