Ok, exactly what IS the rule/law?

One afternoon I was about to walk across the street-- Mass. Ave. in Harvard Square, one-way and VERY busy. I looked in the direction the traffic was coming from and it was clear enough to go, so I started across... and WHAMO! I got hit and knocked right over by some idiot going the wrong way on a bike! And did this clown stop to help me up or see if I was all right? NOOOOooo... she just kept right on riding as fast as she could. GRRRRrrrr..

Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you, Pat. This is just the type of incident that I'm afraid of.

Fortunately I wasn't hurt, but boy was I p*ssed!
