Paul, like I said, we'll just have to agree to disagree. This whole thread was started by me due to a bycyclist traveling on the sidewalk on the wrong side of the road. We approached the intersection on a green light and this idiot came from our right, off the sidewalk, and into the crosswalk going right to left on the wrong side of the street. He never slowed down, never looked. We were lucky we saw him and didn't hit him. Never flinched, never looked back, just kept right on going down the wrong side of the road on the sidewalk.
My wife almost took out a cyclist in a similar situation. He cussed her out. Sidewalk cycling is rife with hazards. Wrong way sidewalk cycling much more so. Adding inattention to that is a deadly combination.
