OH NO!!! good thoughts please...

There is a stretch of my route where the sidewalk is, honestly, safer (and the road isn't even that much less safer - if I'm in a group, we use the road). My sidewalk is almost ample ... and there's almost never a single soul on it... *and* there are no intersections with anything between where I get on and where I take a right turn off to campus.

I have a similar stretch on my route. I argued for a while that it was ok to take the sidewalk there, but eventually I was persuaded to stick to the road. Not for safety's sake, but because riding on the sidewalk sets a bad precedent and a bad example.

Bike lanes for that road are in the works, but I don't count on any promises.
