Oh my, a novice with a tricycle riding on the sidewalk making judgemental assumptions about people who are where they should be.
Provided of course if they wiish to be considered cyclists and not peds, and who want to go faster than walking speed.
Maybe these fellows like myself have been riding bikes all their lives and realize that a plastic hat is not that important and that being aware and skilled is safe, just like the millions all over the world that do the same.

I also have never had a drivers license, and I don't have a death wish, I've been on bikes since 1963 and I am not dead.
