I don't understand how people can walk on public sidewalks along bicyclists that ignore all traffic rules and drive wherever they like. The average cyclist is highly incompetent. Most people don't get any training at all. A lot of people are very distracted with talking on cell phones or listening to music with headphones while cycling. Bicycles moving at high speeds can be very dangerous to pedestrians that are walking on sidewalks.


I would imagine that it's related to how getting run over by a bicycle tends to be somewhat less fatal that getting run over by a car.


It is illegal to ride bikes on sidewalks in a lot of cities.
