Sorry you ran out of juice. You're the second guy I know who's had his legs swapped. Looks like the former right leg hasn't done as well. Curious, was there a learning curve?

steroids help too,being borderline anemic and having "low T" the threads hanging out of my clothes never over stretched the openings. No kidding I never had any muscle mass and was a suffering "ectomorph" my whole life, now I see in old age some of my former "dissers" are rapidly catching up.

You can translate anything into Shakespearean. It is exaggerated for fun. Guess the song.

Soooo true. But in 2 respects, I wish pedestrians behaved MORE like drivers. The latter tend to have much better situational awareness and tend to look before moving into someone else's path.

The thing I hate about walking is finding yourself walking towards someone on a long sidewalk, theres only two of you and you have to time when to recognise their existence.
Worse when its a five house down neighbour.

It is certainly an issue only in some countries or world area.
In Poland, you are never required to recognise the existence of the other person, greet them or smile at them

How odd. I mean, it is as ancient as when the first proto-humans came across a stranger on the jungle path. Friend or foe? Threat or no? There is tension, and we seek to reduce it. So humans developed greetings. Hand gestures - a wave, a salute, a hand shake -- and eye contact, nods, a smile to indicate non-aggression and lack of weapon. And spoken greetings: nowadays, try "Hi", or "Good morning", or "Bonjour" or "Guten Tag", "Buenos dias", "Ni hao", "As-salaam-u-alekum", "Dzień dobry", "Habari"...
One of the things I like about France is the absolute requirement to acknowledge the other person as you enter any establishment or pass in the street. If it is an urban street and eye contact is avoided, then you can get away with not saying bonjour or bonsoir, but it reduces that primordial jungle path tension. It is civilization. Existential dissonance lessens. Try it.

Not really
In Poland everybody's minding their own business and we do not greet strangers on our walks or rides. We do not smile, either. It could be perceived by you as rude but we Poles are down-to-earth people, so we address other people only when we need something. However, ask someone for directions, and we Poles turn into the most pleasant people, smiling and helping as much as we can I am different from most of my compatriots. I often greet pedestrians on MUPs on my rides (especially after they gave me way), which makes them happy and they return their good wishes.
It is different in our community of a small block of flats, where we greet any neighbour and even engage in small talk.
Polish is a complex language.
"Dzień dobry" ( "day good" often shortened to just "dobry!" or "good" -- or even a "-bry!" bark) is just a "Hi" when you enter a place where you are expected to talk (like, a store).
"Dobrego dnia" ("a good day") is a warm form of a greeting: wishing someone a really good day

How different it is from England, where:
-- Alright, mate?
-- Alright?
And Bob's your uncle

Cultural Differences:
There can be cultural differences in how friendliness is expressed, with some finding Polish directness refreshing while others might perceive it as blunt.
Not "Fake" Friendly:
Poles tend to be less inclined to offer superficial friendliness or forced smiles, and may prefer to show genuine warmth once a connection is established.
In practice.
Using gravel bike riding as an example, a British rider may beam a smile and a wave, even if the Polish rider is faffing about with ski goggles and a Garmin while blocking the path.
In comparison a Polish rider is more likely to express his barely controlled annoyance by furiously ringing his bell and splashing through a puddle as he passes.
The British rider wiped his face and waved in admiration of this strict adherence to logic.
