[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you on paying attention with your dogs but you're losing me with bikes on the sidewalk. Those people are a scourge. Unless it's a toddler on a tricycle they all deserve to fly over their handlebars. [/quote]

I would much prefer people to bicycle on sidewalks than in the road.

If a bicyclist is on the sidewalk, they should, of course, be respectful of others, going around pedestrians or even stopping and waiting for them if necessary.  However, if the worst comes to worst and there is an accident, bike vs. pedestrian will almost certainly have a better outcome than bike vs. car.  While I obviously would prefer not to be involved in any bike accident, I would much rather be a pedestrian hit by a bike than to be a driver that hits a bike that I couldn’t avoid if it lost control.

They are not respectful. I live downtown, there are bike lanes EVERYWHERE. If you can't handle biking through a major metro area in a bike lane, then maybe city biking isn't for you. It's not for me, you won't see me renting a Citibike in Manhattan, but the solution is not to mow down pedestrians and take to the sidewalk. [/quote]
