Bikes are mostly single use forms of transportation. Trains move large parts of the population and if we actually did city planning correctly you wouldn’t need a bike to get to and from work. You wanna ride it for fun, great, but go look at cities where bikes have taken the place of vehicles, they fuck up commuting for pedestrians.
I don’t want to walk on the sidewalk. I want to walk in the middle of the street without having to worry about someone running me over with their bike.
Also tons of poor bikers that can’t keep up with regular traffic feel it’s a good to ride on the sidewalk
I doubt “no one” does. You may see a majority of bikers using the bike lanes, but anytime there’s a sidewalk and the biker feels like they can’t keep up with the flow of traffic in that lane they move to the sidewalk.
I hope you enjoy your biking, this mostly idealism on my part. I am actually a bigger supporter of increasing resources and city infrastructure to pedestrians rather than focusing on what to do with bikes and cars. Just give me a place where they aren’t around me.
