People who don't cycle rarely know or understand the rules, and the rules change from city to city on what it is legal for a cyclist to do. Drivers we share the road with don't understand either and it leaves cyclist the most vulnerable.

Those same people who were moaning about you being on the road when they were driving, would then moan about you using the pavement instead of the road if they happened to be walking somewhere
Cyclists really cannot do right for doing wrong.

Well yes, but its slightly unreasonable to expect drivers/cyclists to see into the future and know that some idiot is about to step literally right infront of them, not giving any time to even attempt to slow down
And yes, I am calling myself an idiot too also, given a similar thing happened to me.
