huh ?
Its not an issue of being 'sidewalk loving'. Its about disregarding
zealotous dogma for the ability to use all facilities available to ones benefit in different situations.
Obviously, the anti- crowd are the ones who have some skill honing to do.
No one here advocates riding on the sidewalk all the time. The more adaptable
riders realize your head isnt going to explode in a ball of fiery flames if you
use the walk for a block or two.
