I ride on the road and multi-use path's because I'm not usually taking my time. :)<br /><br />Personally I'd hope the police don't bother with slow cyclists on sidewalks but do crack down on the ones going well above pedestrian speed. I think the Globe editorial is pretty over the top and not particularly helpful. <br /><br />I will note I'm generally leery of fatality stats and would be more interested in numbers of collisions causing injury. In general bike-pedestrian accidents are rarely fatal while car-pedestrian are more likely to be fatal.Paul Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582093331471655375noreply@blogger.com
