[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] take the lane. I’ve never felt more like I was going to be hit by a car than when I was riding on the sidewalk and crossing intersections with poor visibility to cars. Sideswipe, rear end, or overtaking accidents are very rare. [/quote] "Take the lane" is good advice, as far as it goes, but 1. lots of people who aren't confident bicyclists will not take the lane 2. taking the lane can also be stressful, even if you're a confident bicyclist And, of course, if an intersection isn't safe for a person riding slowly on a bicycle, because the driver can't see the person, then the intersection also isn't safe for a person who is running or walking.[/quote] agree with your last point - the issue is that if you're biking full speed on the sidewalk, it's hard to slow to walking speed to cross the street. Invariably you cross at faster than walking speed. [/quote]
