Just plain dangerous and people need to start using some common sense. I've spend a fair bit of the year "startling" walkers and runners as I appraoch behind them, becuase they can't here me yelling, only to be meet with derogatory and sometimes confrontational looks/comments.
On the flip side, riding about on the road (or for that matter, off road) is depriving you of one of your core senses and IMO is equally dangerous, as unfortunately witnessed by me today - a near death cyclist experience as he failed to detect the car in close proximity.
In either case, if you voluntarily deprive yourself of your senses (physically AND morally speaking), what do you expect?
rant mode off......
