It is stupid to suggest that cyclists should bike on the road instead of the sidewalk

Speaking as a driver and a pedestrian, I would much rather risk walking into a bicycle every so often than deal with cyclists on the road. The consequences of a bike crashing into a pedestrian will probably be forgotten after a day. But if a car crashes into a bicycle, this will be the cause of grief for weeks. Yielding to cyclists who ring their bell might be annoying, but I think figuring out how to pass the cyclist in front of you who is biking at 20 mph below the speed limit is more annoying.

    Idolatrous statement.
