    Wider sidewalks would solve the clogging problem and allow runners to pass

    Why are you bicycling on the sidewalk?

    Cars kill bicyclists, pedestrians don’t.

    Let people connect with each other.

    Which would not include all having earphones and no spatial awareness to step aside.

      Wider sidewalks would solve the clogging problem and allow runners to pass

      3-4 people going next to each other still successfully clogg wide paths.

      Why are you bicycling on the sidewalk?

      There are a lot of shared sidewalks where I live, more often than not to connect two (often newer) actual bicycle paths so cyclists don’t have to constantly push their bike for short periods.

      Bicyclists are a major issue for pedestrians (esp. Disabled) - speaking from a European perspective

        It’s also true the other way around, especially if 4 seniors manage to block the whole path which is wide enough for a car to go down, walking next to each other.

        And of course they are also too deaf to hear my bell.
