+64 If there's a sidewalk, that's where you should be riding your bike, amirite?

Where I'm at, riding a bike on a sidewalk is illegal for adults. Only children up to a certain age (forgot which) are allowed to ride their bikes on the sidewalk. When there are lots and lots of cyclists regularly on the on the road, just plan more time for your trip and adjust your speed to compensate for the added 'danger' on the road.

This is specifically banned in most places. You're supposed to ride in the street because you're considered a vehicle, not a pedestrian.

Depends on the type of road. Some roads have set areas for biking. Some do not. Also, kinda messed up to call biking a hobby when it's how a decent number of people get from point A to point B. Not everyone has car access constantly.

It's way more dangerous for bikers on the sidewalk despite what you think, plus it's dangerous for pedestrians too. Really it's the worst place to bike

This isn't just a matter of opinion. It's literally the law to be riding bikes in the road. People who are riding on the sidewalk are a danger to pedestrians (and themselves)

This opinion isn't so much "unpopular" as it is simply incorrect.

Listen pedestrians in the sidewalk don't want to deal with thiae crazy bikers either... bikes should stick to the bike lane where they belong and stay out of areas that dont have a bike lane!

Get drivers to follow the law and cyclists will follow. The problem isn't cyclists, it's the general culture of lawlessness on the road

Biking is a hobby the same way driving a car is a hobby
