The killer application for this technology is a bicycle bell you can use to break the trance of phone-staring pedestrians who are randomly staggering down the pavement.
And those people who drive down the street blasting loud music (err, I mean "sharing their stereos")? They'll be able to share directly to the people on the sidewalk!
(I loved your comment -- I think we both know this won't be supported).
"While technically hostile, Adbugs do not directly attack Vault Hunters. Instead, they follow their targeted Vault Hunter around and beam a semi-transparent advertisement at them, which is placed in a random position on the field of vision, obscuring part of the field of view."
You can tell when you're being attackd by an Adbug because they beam audio advertisements into your head.
By the time he rode back and shakily told us what had happened, I had no choice but to inform her at the top of my lungs (since she was 600ft down the path) that, no, it's legal if you're under 16 (in our state).
It's astonishing how bicycle riders seem to think everybody except for them is responsible for their safety.
Riding on the sidewalk is outright dangerous, I have seen multiple accidents when:
* pedestrians got hurt by bicyclists travelling at high speed riding on the sidewalk
* bicyclists go around corners and hit pedestrians
* bicyclists get hit by cars who couldn't see them at the intersection because they were riding on the sidewalk
If a cyclist and a pedestrian collide, someone might go to the hospital. If a cyclist and a car collide, someone is likely to die, and it's basically always the cyclist.
In reality, though, we all have to get along. And those concerns are addressed by cyclists not riding at breakneck speed and going blindly around corners. I don't see either of those behaviors very often in my area.
I'm amazed at how often a bicycle rider on the sidewalk will actually warn me to get out of the way. I haven't knocked anybody off of one yet. It's only a matter of time before somebody bumps into me on one and gets hurt.
