Leonard Mead is the protagonist of "The Pedestrian." He is arrested and detained for "regressive behavior." His insistence on his nightly walks raises questions about the interference of technological development into traditional pastimes, such as walking. Mr. Mead's behavior is deemed threatening even though it is not hurting anyone - the powers in charge believe that his determination to walk every night could upset their social stability. He does not have a viewing screen in his house, which is expected of the members of this society. His behavior proposes an alternative activity that the government does not approve of, and this threatens their monopoly on control. Mr. Mead is more a plot device than a character. He is generally flat and static.
