The Burbs. Why is it that people that go for a walk in the 'burbs like to walk in the street instead of on the sidewalk? Walking dogs, walking with a baby stroller, etc. etc.
In my own burbs, one reason I have taken my bike on the sidewalk is due to oncoming car traffic on one side of the street and pedestrians taking up the other side of the street. With a clear sidewalk on either side. In circumstances like this, a sidewalk does become a sidebike.
