pedestrian
Person on foot
A pedestrian is a person traveling on foot, especially in areas shared with vehicles: Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
The adjective pedestrian means dull, unimaginative, or ordinary—plodding along without flair: The writing was competent but pedestrian.
Both senses connect to the idea of going by foot rather than soaring.
