I can't even begin to count the number of times I've nearly been run into while on a sidewalk by some jackass on a bike whizzing past me. A bicycle is a vehicle -- use the road with the other vehicles.

I walk a lot downtown and those things make me bonkers as well. But I do one thing that I am sure pisses off drivers to no end, and that's walking when the flashing hand comes on. I only do it in one situation, and I try to cross as fast as possible and stop traffic as little as possible, and that's when it freezing your balls off cold outside. I don't really care if you miss the turn and are now a minute and a half behind schedule, but you're in a car that has a heater and is shielded from the elements suck it up.
