Even with bike lanes, the bikes still ride in the street and on the sidewalk. 🤷‍♂️

When a bike lane is just a painted line on the road that cars frequently cross (almost hitting you) or block by parking, then yeah, the sidewalk can be the safer option. This is why we need more protected bike lanes.

Cyclists ride where they feel least likely to die. If there's something blocking a bike lane, yes, they will either bike in the street or on the sidewalk.

Extremely true for Capitol Hill/NoMA area. Bike lanes on every street, yet half the bikers on the sidewalk and half the runners in the bike lanes. Its madness
