pedal, not peddle

And most cyclists would *love* to have a path that is safe. Unfortunately sidewalks aren't it - they are built for pedestrians and in most places it is illegal to bike there.

Cyclists would probably very much support dedicated bike lanes.

Like I said. Not arguing legality of where to ride a bike. But to argue that a busy roadway with cars heading in both directions at a high rate of speed is safer than a sidewalk where you might encounter one or two people is asinine.

Spandex Sally rides her little schwinn and collides with a pedestrian on the sidewalk. Sally falls over, gets her knee scraped, the Walkers foot gets run over and bruised.

Now spandex Sally and her schwinn collide with a (for sakes of the argument) a tiny arse smart car going 45 mph. Now, spandex Sally is in the hospital with a broken neck. And smart car Steve has to get a new vehicle.
