The first one crossed casually in the middle of the street ignoring the traffic. As I saw him, I slowed down and I went to pass behind him. When he saw me: frightened he moved back and thus we banged a little, but nothing serious as I did not have to stop.
The second one: it was on one of its very particular places where the road, the crosswalk and the cycle track mix together.

Two pedestrians stoped, waiting for their time and at the same moment I was on the crosswalk one girl bursts out shouting in her mobile and collides me on my side.
There again, I didn’t have to stop but I have to find a way to have a stick at hand when on my bicycle.
