and this is why I couldnt give a single fucking shit about any law that says bikes cant be on sidewalks/must be on roads or whatever.

because every fucking car is a hostile, imminent threat to a person on a bike.

And even the sidewalk isnt that safe, I've personally been on a sidewalk that had 4 feet of grass between me and the road and STILL have had assholes swerve through the verge to try and scare me/knock me down/make me crash/whatever their sociopathic intent.

edit: and yes, it was by an asshole in a truck. Its almost always an asshole in a truck.

    They need tire punching dividers. It could be bollards that would be fine if a person hits them but would crack under the weight of a car to reveal a nice nail spike.

    No, just put a goddamn wall in. large enough so a vehicle cant roll over it, thick enough so a vehicle cant crash through it, and heavy enough so an impact cant push it.

    Last thing i wanna do is deal with an asshole who suddenly had their tires blow up and lose all control
