But alas we belong on the road more than we do on sidewalks. First sidewalks are designed for pedestrians not vehicles. Roads are designed for vehicles. I find riding on a sidewalk at 15+ miles an hour totally unsafe and insane. Cars do not pay attention to any sidewalk traffic when making right or left turns off the street nor when pulling out of driveways. Riding in the streets is no more unsafe than driving. I think being a polite rider is important (its better sometimes to be polite than right). The riders who ride down the middle of the street slowing traffic are not obeying the law (at least in this state) vehicles are not allowed to slow traffic if you are moving slower than the traffic you are to pull over and let traffic go by as soon as it is safe to do so. We need to SHARE the road not own it. And I may be slightly on the arrogant side (as you seem to be byu your post) but I am not a fool.
