Pedestrians can harm other people, cyclists have been killed and many

into millions. 3rd party insurance is definitely a good idea.
There was one a couple of weeks ago:

Now, did the pedestrian run into the bike, or vice versa? Was the
cyclist on the pavement, or the pedestrian on the road? The article
doesn't tell us, nor do any of the others I found.

Still, it's not a bad thing to be cycling at 77.
