I ran a bike shop for a decade and have 10’s of thousands of road miles in over the last 40 years. 9 out of 10 times someone came in saying they got hit and I would ask where they were riding. They were on a sidewalk crossing. You can feel however you want about the subject matter but it doesn’t make you right.

Don’t ride on the sidewalk

That’s not the study I cite. There are so many others to choose from.

Drivers are expecting anything on the sidewalk to be moving at 5mph

Ebike riders really not beating the allegations here.

You don’t need a study to think it’s a bad idea

Not single pertinent response thus far.

I’m not citing that study. I’m citing the fact that drivers do not check the sidewalk, and cannot see the sidewalk as well as the roadway.
Plus the sidewalk has dogs, babies, telephone poles, and all sorts of random crap.
