[wplug] reckless pedestrians

[Kevin Scheetz]

I'm suprised more incidents haven't happened between someone with an ipod
and the bus lane running along fifth ave.  I do recall being perfectly
attentive and, as a naive freshman, nearly walking into an oncoming bus.
Plus, the PAT drivers seem to think that yellow lights means go faster and
the first few seconds of a red light don't really count and just fly through
it.

And, as an avid bicycle rider, I don't understand what some people are
thinking while riding.  Admittedly, I generally don't wear a helmet while
riding on the street, however I ride nearly every day for several hours over
difficult terrain; I'm not great at it but I know how to handle a bicycle.
Riding is like Linux: you need to learn how to use it before you use it.
