[quote=Anonymous]Reiterating what some people have said above. Paint is not protection. Not everyone has health / life insurance, so the risk of being hit or doored weighs more heavily. I know a day laborer who was hit while riding his bike. He got busted up, but he had to work through it anyway. I can imagine him riding on the sidewalk now out of fear. I have ridden with my kids in painted bike lanes (they are on their own bikes) and it SUCKS. I want them to learn but I don’t want them to die. If there’s no one around, or so few that it’s safe and the place I’m coming from / going to is on the block then I may pull up a curb cut to get onto the sidewalk rather than dismount in the street. The people advocating for them use them, but some people may not know.[/quote]
