Pedestrians lowest on totem pole

Somebody needs write down the hierarchy of the sidewalk, and I figure that person might as well be me.

People on bicycles (who should be in the bike lane anyway) don't have to yield to anybody. People on skateboards have to yield to cyclists.

Finally, people walking have to yield to skaters. By just standing there, you're increasing your chances of getting hit by a cyclist or skater who can't get out of the way as easily as you can. So kindly, get out of the way.
