Yeah I hate when I'm driving and there is some asshole on a bike and you cant get around him and he is backing up traffick. And if he suddenly falls and you hit him its gonna be your fault.
You see people doing that here and there is a perfectly good sidewalk.....they are in the road intentionally. I dont know how anyone can be okay doing that. I would be very uncomfortable riding a bike on a main road with cars backed up behind me.
Its dangerous and aggravating.
Here, riding a bicycle on a sidewalk is illegal. It gets you a fine.
On the other hand, we're also the center of the universe when it comes to municipally-funded bike lanes. At least in Canada.
Not that this helps alleviate the ire of motorists, mind you; even main thoroughfares and downtown streets have been narrowed down almost out of existence.
