Show me some evidence that sidewalk cycling is actually more dangerous than cycling on the road.
When a study shows that X is 180% as dangerous as Y, that, to me, qualifies as "some evidence that X is actually more dangerous than Y".
What part of "the average cyclist in this study incurs a risk on the sidewalk 1.8 times as great as on the roadway" do you not understand?
