If your answer is "walk across" then
you are perpetuating the car brained problem of seeing bikes as toys rather than transport.
Cycling is only safe when cycling is seen as legitimate.
It has been ruled to be so on that bridge which means that
the danger is precisely from reactionary anti-bike attitudes of the sort you are pushing.
What a key local/commuting route like
Bethlehem's Fahy bridge needs is even more people riding it so that everyone comes to recognize that the presence of cyclists as
routine, proper, and expected as that of any other wheeled conveyance allowed to be there.
