Looking out for pedestrians on phones, oblivious to all going on around them is a common peril when cycling (or driving or running) in London.

Usually the danger is that they stride out into the road without looking (or drift across the pavement unexpectedly as you're running)

Thinking they're on a footpath when they're actually on a cycle lane on the road is new one on me though! Fortunately she finally realised before I had to stop.

I suppose it probably doesn't help that there are a number of lanes similar to this in central London, which look like cycle lanes but actually *are* pedestrian lanes ...
