Recumbentman

When we've driven the last cyclist from his toe-hold on the street
Let us not become complacent, for the job is not complete
There's another class of person lining up for our attention
And he bends and breaks the law in every way that you could mention:
The pedestrian. His blind insouciance is past endurance
When it's WE who pay the taxes, pass the tests and buy insurance!
We are gentle, kind, forgiving, but he does his best to thwart us
As a heart-arresting jaywalker or traffic-jamming tortoise . . .
We INVENTED good behaviour, he's determined to destroy it!
And don't tell me to stop ranting, it's my right! And I enjoy it!

I utterly agree. I especially don't like pedestrians at night who cross over a street just anywhere when they're all dressed up in tarmac-dark-grey.
