<p>The islands that have been built along Dearborn encourage people and bikes to cross bike lanes to get ten feet farther across the street. Not the best idea.</p>

<p>But when I see this, smartphone zombies and people who don't have situational awareness, it gets annoying. </p>
<p>There were about 4 others behind me, about the same speed. </p>

<p>I'm both a cyclist and pedestrian. I completely understand both sides of the medal. Pedestrian are like zombies, but cyclists often act recklessly. The key is to have eyes on the back of your head ;) :D. It's really dangerous what you've shown tho.</p>

<p>I think that pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers are about equally careless and self-absorbed when out and about. Or polite and gracious, also. The problem is that pedestrians can't really hurt anybody, cyclists don't often seriously hurt anybody, and cars and trucks kill people every single day. Those operating the most deadly vehicles should be held to a higher degree of responsibility for safety, because the consequences of their bad acts or failures to act are so much more lethal.</p>

<p>In downtown bike lanes, I just ride slowly enough to make safe, quick, stops. When a pedestrian steps in front of me without looking, I stop and stare at them. I don't say anything. When they've passed, I go on my way again. I want them to feel guilty about being discourteous. I don't want to fill them with righteous indignation by trying to teach them any lessons. Usually, they don't notice me. Sometimes they apologize. In all cases we both remain unharmed.</p>

<p>Yep, cyclists are no different than motorists and pedestrians act just like pedestrians, no matter what form of vehicle they are interacting with.</p>
<p>People are people, doesn't matter what form of transportation they use.</p>
