That's why we don't rider in the sidewalk where I live.

Yeah, this was out in the boonies where the biking infrastructure sucked. Biking on the roads is dangerous there, and there are very few pedestrians, so typically it's safer to just go on the sidewalks in some places. This bridge in particular was a bit notorious.

In any case, I could have just as easily been a pedestrian. If I was some old lady crossing, dude would've smoked her.
