And that is why when I'm forced to ride on the sidewalk due to lack of any bike lanes or other safety related issues (ridiculously dangerous car / truck drivers in some areas where I've lived, etc) I always go out of my way to give pedestrians all the right of way and respect possible, even to the point of getting off my bike and walking it when there's no other available way to respect the pedestrians and allow them to feel safe walking on the sidewalk. In my mind, the sidewalks are for pedestrians first and foremost, so I make whatever necessary efforts to give them their space and not put them at risk. Is only fair…
