(The last time it happens the cyclist in question gave me a very guilty look and I *know* he heard me shout as I jumped back, “DUDE! There’s a STOP SIGN! It’s RIGHT HERE!” So that was a little satisfying.) Of course I do look before crossing, but it’s hard to see around the parked cars and to even get out to see the road one must step in the cyclist’s path.

Mind you, that’s out of dozens and dozens of cyclists who haven’t run me over, but still, it’s a little bit alarming early in the morning to have a brush with serious injury! And even given all that, I think bike lanes on 17th would be sweet.
