Why is it that pedestrians feel the need to yell out to ME what color the light is when THEY are leisurely and mindlessly walking AGAINST the light in the crosswalk? I know what color the light is. That’s why I am yelling at you “heads up”! My light is green! If I were a car you’d get your tail back on the sidewalk. But for some reason… since I’m riding a bicycle… I get no respect. Here’s something to think about… I can’t stop on a dime. But if I hit you we are BOTH going down. So while I know you are use to being cautious of those big metal boxes on four wheels… would you please give those of us on two wheels some respect also! Meanwhile, who walks against the light and only looks straight ahead anyway? Arrggg
