It's important when you ride on the sidewalk that you are going WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.
Why?
When a cager makes a right on red,where is he looking?
If your on the sidewalk going not the flow of traffic and the walk signal is on and you go you will be on that driver's right side.
He's looking left at on coming cars.
He's turning right.
He never sees you as he runs you over.
This is what happened to me.
Also when your riding on the sidewalk going with the flow of traffic you MUST STOP at every side street or make a HARD YIELD at cagers ready to make that right turn.
I don't trust ANYONE driving two tons of steel that they are capable of preventing my death.
At traffic lights I push that walk button then I situate myself between the right turn lane and the going straight lane. I'm still out of the cagers way and those that turn right can go right ahead and turn to their hearts desire.
If you stay on the corner and that light turns green,HALF of them won't yield to you and will go right on making that right turn regardless that you have the right of way and the walk signal is on.
