Advocacy & Safety - Survey response: People who use sidewalks

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

From http://www.stlouispark.org/survey/Questionnaire_Responses.html

I took a snapshot of the relevant section. As you can see, 38.7% use the sidewalk for bicycling.

I like the recreation tab. Makes me picture someone setting up their lounge chair on the sidewalk and catching some zzzz's.

16% of people never walk on a sidewalk? I mean I figure if you're riding on it, you'll walk on it sometime, along with every other activity....

16% of people at least go to their attached garage and into their car and drive away with barely a glance at the sidewalk. every day.

now, if they'd added 'shoveling' to the list maybe we'd be getting closer to 100%

In downtown Encinitas, a fair number of folks use the sidewalks for restaurant dining, sidewalk cafe style, which is sometimes a pain in the arse for pedestrians.

I'd check off every item for both sidewalk and road

(with the exception of dog walk as I don't have dog)
