Reply to comment by laterbacon in $27M grant could finish Providence's bike lane network, but Smiley noncommittal by lestermagnum

You aren’t supposed to ride on the sidewalk period. You are supposed to use the traffic lanes like a motor vehicle . If you aren’t confident enough to ride a bicycle in traffic and take the risk then you shouldn’t be biking as a transportation tool. Riding on a sidewalk is extremely dangerous and puts everyone at risk.

Driving a car is extremely dangerous and it puts everyone at risk. Try riding a bike in traffic sometime. It's not a risk for some people, it's their primary mode of transportation. Advocate for infrastructure that makes everyone safe or deal with bikes on the sidewalk sometimes. Maybe try to imagine how others live their lives not beholden to the automobile

Single speed fixed gear. I’m comfortable riding in the road. You not.
