>>1090300I live in realtively small city in Europe with no bike culture whatsoever, but we do have a lot of bike lanes, and as a result pretty much 70% of pedestrians look both sides when crossing.
People learn. Few months ago I stopped maybe 20 cm away from some teen girl after she was the only one of her group who crossed the bike path without looking, I was going around 30 km/h seconds earlier. She looked at me completely horrified and started crying and apologizing on the spot, I just kekked and rode away with the wind, I'm pretty sure she will remember to look both sides for the rest of her life.
A good way to gently help people understand is to pass them by maybe 10 cm when going sonic fast, obviously only if they are walking on the bike paths.
