Yes, but clearly not only for those guys. I see lots of commuters, even with helmets and lights, riding on the sidewalk. Which is fine by me, except that they really don't understand the danger of the sidewalk [or the alley or the parking lot...for that matter].

I recall my own first trips out into the street and being amazed at some of the observations I made through my own experience. Finally, I did some research on the Internet [like BF] and got some better ideas.

I'm hoping to be able to turn some of those new riders to web sites like : http://bicyclesafe.com/ . Even this brief web page could save a life.
