True... though most of the pedestrians who walk out in front of me are doing so because they're turning round to talk to someone while texting, etc
Many, though probably not most, of the pedestrians who walk out in front of me do so having clearly seen me and decided that I'm not real traffic and should stop for them/slow down/go round them.
Most of my route is along pedestrianised roads and shared-use footpaths, but the tiny bit which is on roads is constantly afflicted with pedetrians who see me and decide to walk in front of me anyway. Maybe Reading pedestrians are peculiarly anti-cyclist (or believe themselves to be harder than a bike).
