>>step in front of a bike doing that speed and you are likely to end up with a broken leg or hip, and that's before the brake levers, pedals and chainring tear into you
A guy stepped off a bus and walked out in front of it, just as I was coming past on a motorbike. He stepped straight into my left handlebar a moment after I saw him. I braked and pulled in the clutch - squeezing his gonads. I didn't knock him down and was going slow enough to stop almost immediately.
When he was able to speak again, he admitted he didn't look and thanked me for avoiding causing more serious injury................................................................
