But still safer than roads. Which was my point.

It's not though, you are just a bigot

Oh yeah? That one was treated nicely it's whole life and was never abused? It just killed a kid for no reason? How dumb are you?

No it doesn't. The problem is what happens on the other side of the fence before you get there.

I have the wolf, the sheep and the cabbage under my complete control while they are on my side of the fence

Cabbage, wolf, sheep

But then what are you putting over the fence next?

I worked at cricket when I was younger and the outsourced customer service was terrible. They would not only hang up on customers but they would hang up on employees and managers too. My only point is that they very well could be in the position to not give any fucks.

You just spelled out why it's safer to stay on the sidewalks than I ever could have.

I don't think Newton was dumb enough to think air resistance isn't a factor

Bicycles are much harder to see than other cars while on the road. It's safer for bicyclers to stay on the sidewalk and look both ways before crossing any street, unless there is a bike lane.

If you stay on the sidewalk and look both ways before crossing the street, there are no risks of a car wreck.

Riding your bike on the sidewalk has the same safety rules as walking. If you follow them, you'll be fine.

Various cities in metro Detroit area and Phoenix/Tempe I would ride my bike to work, school and anywhere else I had to go except for the grocery store until I was 25. I've also ridden a bike around a handful of cities I've visited, not Chicago or NYC though.

Fair enough. Everywhere I've lived I ride my bike everywhere and most places I've visited in the country I would rent a bike and never had any problems, so I was very surprised to see people claim the complete opposite of my personal experiences. But it's a massive country and I can see how other people could have different anecdotal experiences than my own.

I will be happily surprised if you prove me wrong but a quick Google search suggested all three have around 120 million active users monthly

Actually it's the opposite. Some cities, like NYC, prohibit cycling on the sidewalk but most places, it's perfectly legal. Either way that's a distraction. My only point was that someone saying "it's dangerous to ride your bike in the US" is ignorant.

According to this there are only 3 maybe 4 states that don't allow riding your bike on the sidewalk. Just a reminder there are a total of 50 states in the US. Ignorance is a funny thing.

Definitely, or at the very least The Union Pacific Big Boy
