Cycling on sidewalks feels safer, but it's actually more dangerous. [1] The problem is that cars don't expect something moving quickly on the sidewalk, and so hit cyclists at driveways and intersections.

There are places that are shared pedestrian/bike paths. The east side of the GG Bridge when the west side is closed for instance. In those cases I think pedestrians should at least be aware of cyclists, instead of walking 4 abreast and blocking the entire way.

Yeah I had a bicycle guy quickly drive over the pedestrian crossing almost riding right in front of me.
