Stupidity or indifference? Your thoughts please.
Both?

I walk a lot on the MMPs and occasionally encounter an older gentleman on a bicycle, with his cell phone on some kind of holder on the handle bars. He gives the phone most of his attention, glancing up and around at rare intervals. I've had to warn him with a loud "heads up!" shout one time as he swerved directly at me. It got his attention; he avoided hitting me.

Haven't seen him in 3-4 months.
