While I have elbowed cyclists in crowded sidewalk areas where they had no right to be (Chicago, Louisville) and were literally riding into me I never wrote that I did or would push a person into traffic and it is irresponsible for you turn my statement into such, Shadowex3.
Point taken, unterhausen.
Cyclists who ride on sidewalks make it harder (in regard to motorists) on those of us who have sense enough to use the road.
