Sidewalks scare me. Seems like folks exiting driveways and parking lots will at least glance to see if anything is in the road, but they are already completely blocking the sidewalk waiting to get into the road before they look.
Seems to me it's hard enough for a slow moving pedestrian to avoid these folks, let alone someone on a faster moving bicycle.
No sidewalks for me.
