This particular area is dangerous to a biker on the street, its narrow, and cagers fight for lane position right after the stop light. I raced BMX bikes from 10 to 18yrs old and rode to work alot since. I'm no expert but I'm not new to riding either. I dont have a lot of experience being heavy, when we all were young, an area of sidewalk like that would have been no prob, but now that I carry a bit more mass, I gotta compensate for a slight balance indifference. Also, not many ppl use this section of walkway, and anytime I do come upon a walker, I always play it safe and give warning and plenty of room,usually I head for the street anytime there is a chance as the dang walks are so stinking rough!
