[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a cyclist, but I VASTLY prefer cyclists stay on the sidewalk. They get killed so often on the road, but don't kill any pedestrian on the sidewalk. I walk with my kids and dog, and move to the grass or otherwise give them the right of way. This is because they can hurt us if they run us over. In the end, it's not what the law says, it's the heavier projectile that wins. I am glad to give them the right of way if it means they don't we can all cohabit with as few collisions, injuries and deaths as possible.

I will say that the cyclists on my current route are courteous, in that they don't go fast, they announce their presence and give us a wide berth. I used to walk on the Crescent Trail, where I encountered a couple of really aggressive, mentally-ill cyclists who swore at pedestrians for no reason. But the immense majority of bike-users are decent folk.

As a cyclist, I get shouted at by pedestrians to get into the street, and when in the street, I get shouted at by motorists to get on the sidewalk.

You're all loons, everyone just be more courteous. [/quote]

You first. I don't mind the polite cyclists. It's just that 90% are not.[/quote]
