Loki,
I'm both a walker and a biker, and I share your outrage. What you saw should never have happened. Bikers have the means and responsiblity to maneuver around pedestrians, or they need to come to a complete stop until a path is clear.
I'd bet you dollars to donuts, neither of those bikers was wearing a helmet. They don't care about their own safety, so why should they care about anyone else's?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Don't get mad, get even. Write up your experience and run it in the editorial section of your campus newspaper. With any luck, someone else saw those events and can ID those cowboys, and campus security can bust them, because, for sure, there are right-of-way rules for campuses, just as there are for public streets. And if there aren't, common sense and decency should have prevailed.
Those kinds of people give a bike riders a bad reputation, as well as disrepect persons who they themselves might one day be, the physically less able who legally and humanly deserve equal access and opportunity. Those two cowboys need to be stopped.
Thanks for sharing the experience here, but, also, post it on campus.
Charlie
