Bikes are the way to get around here in Japan, which is fine and wonderful except that it's illegal for them to ride on the SUPER WIDE, NOT AT ALL CROWDED street, so instead they ride on the narrow sidewalks where it's shoulder to shoulder people. They will think nothing of running you over, and you'll be lucky to get a precursory "ding ding" from their stupid little bell before your foot is broken. Old ladies are the worst, as they have little direction and often aim for the thickest part of the crowd, shoulders hunched, eyes determined. Afterwards they glare at you for having the audacity to be walking on the sidewalk.
