If you don't get an acnoledgement of the death stare, don't expect them to yield. Driveways are a lot worse then intersections.
Thanks for the tip. Will keep the "death stare" in mind.

Provided of course if they wiish to be considered cyclists and not peds, and who want to go faster than walking speed....
Hhhmmmm. Sounds like you're making a judgement call and a snobish one at that. And it sounds to me that any biker using the sidewalk is not a "real" biker, to you too.
Oh my feelings are so hurt.
Hey, I just want to get to point A to B in one piece. FOR ME this means being on the sidewalk and it seems like I've got plenty of company.

I don't know how a personal observation elevated me to expert status but so be it. BTW, I'm not familiar with POB but something tells me it means "pedestrians on bikes" of which, I can safely assume from your post, you count me as one. Mind you, you put me in this group not me.
As far as POB's getting pleasure out of insulting the cycling community? I personally wouldn't know since I've been too busy commuting on my trike.
