The pedestrians are only trying to cross the road... In my experience a pedestrian is most likely to be hit when trying to cross the road at a traffic light system and there is a green man. |

Well, my experience, as someone who cycles across London every day (and never jumps traffic lights) is that pedestrians very often just step into the road without looking, nowhere near a crossing point. It's almost like they want get hit by a fast-moving bicycle. |

just jam some playing cards in your spokes and they'll hear you coming either way |

No probs, [hippo]. I'm not tarring you with the brush of the unscrupulous (well, not on any cycling issues anyway). |

I find that riding on the pavement, whilst
blowing a loud whistle works quite well. I
learned the whistle trick in New York... and
one other thing - I totally ignore traffic
lights ("the weaver bird has little brain, it
weaves about from lane to lane..". who
remembers that ad? Well I'm that weaver
bird. |

[xenxag], the next time I am in the Big Apple I will be waiting at a crossing for you... |

well back to this idea, I already use my brakes to let people know Im coming. Since they are spring loaded they "click" when the are let go. I just squeeze enough so Im not braking yet and then let them go and click. M O S T people hear them and look back, and move.... the others get the crap scared out of them as fly past them going 25mph + |
