Cyclist vs. Businessman

My biggest fear when riding on the street is 1. a person opening a car door without checking their mirror - I've had two close calls this past summer and 2. A pedestrian crossing a street without looking both ways. I avoid riding against traffic but even when I'm riding with it, I've almost hit a mother + baby carriage and a pedestrian, both of which didn't even glance at oncoming traffic before they decided to j-walk. My 3rd fear is actually getting hit by a car. Observe the cars passing by in the right lane before the rider hits the man - he swerved into traffic after the fact. If the indecent occurred before the cars passed, he would of been meat.
