I wonder how many of those same places also don’t have safe cycling infrastructure.
If given a choice between a protected bike lanes and a wide multiuse path, or a bumpy sidewalk, nobody would choose the sidewalk. Hell, I see pedestrians walking in bike lanes and not on sidewalks, so there’s something wrong with sidewalks! LOL
But if someone is on a road without a bike lane or shoulder, with traffic going 80 km/h, you bet I would want them to hop on a sidewalk that sees no pedestrians ever.
Not sure why you were downvoted… Some places don’t allow bikes in sidewalks
