Maybe I'm just weird but I do glance back every so often as I walk along. Do the same on my bike. Keeps me from being surprised at least 80 percent of the time. Also most bikes are not absolutely silent usually there will be some kind of noise that alerts me to a bike comming along. Tire buzz, chain squeek, brake squeel, friends talking and enjoying the ride, dirt or leaves being ran over. The only problem I find with that is if some one is playing out racing fantasies and being a bit inconsiderate, then they will close to fast to react to and it is a bit startling. But hey if having to pay some attention to what is going on in the environment is to much to ask ...maybe I'll just go into the mirrors for pedestrians buisness! That way they can just look straight ahead, with ear buds in, monitoring Fit bit, smoking a pipe, drinking a cup o' joe, while reading Ann Patchette and still see what is going on behind them !)
