They really need to educate cyclists in peel about bike lanes. My neighborhood and every street around it has bike lanes, yet I regularly get passed by bikes on the sidewalk as the road and bike lane sits empty. Those bikes zipping past me are just as scary to me as cars are to cyclists, so just use the bike lanes
Do you feel safe biking on a road with a painted line "protecting" you from drivers?
Only assholes on bikes would do that on sidewalks. But they're the same assholes who blow through stop signs and red lights on their bikes.
I do feel that those incredibly inconsiderate and dangerous bikers spoil it for everyone, but I'd like to think at least most (half... hopefully?) of us respect the laws and safety. I would get off my bike before getting on the sidewalk if people (especially children) were present.
