Interesting how this is repeating itself these days with bikes versus pedestrians. Bicycles are increasingly being ridden in crosswalks and sidewalks at high speed, often without safe clearance from pedestrians. And yet, if you as a pedestrian object to having your life risked this way, you're sure to be shouted down as a rube, enemy of the planet, or whatever.

As always, the victors write the history books.

As we live more urban with growing population, solution like bikes, cycles, skate boards, scooters (lime etc) and of-course more people on foot... will emerge... we will see how old rules play out then...
