All for the bicyclists using a lane at bicycle speeds it's safest that way. Also infrastructure won't get changed any other way.
Illegal here to bike on sidewalk. I get off and walk my bike if I use the sidewalk with my bike even if no one is around. Same goes for red lights. I always wait for green just as if I was a car even if there is no traffic and as a pedestrian I might cross.
I'm not a pedestrian I'm a vehicle.
