I don't like riding my bike on the road anymore
    #5563894 - 04/27/06 05:48 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I will ride on the road sometimes...but not a lot.

There have been three instances in the last year when I was almost run down by drivers who were not paying attention.  :mad2:

I realize that legally I am supposed to ride my bicycle on the road and that it is illegal to ride it on the sidewalk.  I don't care.  I often get chuckles from other bicyclers on the road when they see me.  I don't care.  I often get dirty looks from pedestrians as they have to move to the side to let me past.  I don't care. 

Riding on the sidewalk is better than risking getting run over by some soccer mom on her cell-phone.

I ride my bike throughout the major metro that is chicago and I've had my encounters. the worst is when the car monkeys open their parked car doors while on the side - without looking to see if anyone is coming up behind them. I've found city drivers are much more used to bicyclists on the streets rather than suburban/rural drivers - these people are utterly clueless. riding on the sidewalk around here is frowned upon and insanely dangerous, if not impossible. Too many people walking or coming out of their buildings.

we have bike-lanes, though. maybe you should paint your own like they do in europe.
