Which is why I'm not advocating it for the group. I'm just pointing out a particular circumstance in which I feel it's necessary and do-able.
Why do you have those nice big wide sidewalks, then?
(that thing about nobody walking may change in the coming years...be interesting to see what happens then)
...then we'd just have fewer cars on the road and possibly more bikes instead. I wouldn't have to ride the sidewalk if the bike/car ratio was closer to 50/50 and not 1/99 (as it is now).
