The sidewalk is no place for cyclists!

For many years the cyclists in my city have complained that there aren't enough bike lanes. The city was forced to spend millions of dollars to put bike lanes on almost every major street and artery in the city. Since we've finally been having some nice, spring weather, I've been out walking more enjoying it. Today I was out walking and someone on an electric bike tooted his horn from behind me to let him pass. There is a bike lane on BOTH SIDES of the street! As I was walking back home on this same street, I heard "Excuse me", from behind and met with three cyclists hogging the sidewalk behind me. I had to step aside to let them pass and again there are bike lanes just beyond the curb on both sides of the street! A message to all cyclists; The sidewalk is for PEDESTRIANS, not PEDDLERS! You whined for bike lanes, you got them, USE THEM!!
