Big step for me at least. I’m not using the bike gutters, because I value my life. Nothing else, other than letting you know that some kid somewhere on earth is biking to school.
Idk, I feel great, but other kids already do this. It’s crazy. And they don’t talk about it at all, which I should as well, to avoid the cycling stereotype thing whatever. I like talking about things, and I have to avoid talking about it too much. Wish I could, though. That’s all. Have a great day.
Bike gutters are still safer than sidewalks for cyclists.
Is there statistical evidence of that? Mainly curious so I can arm myself next time someone argues about it.
I too would like to see it
There’s a study I posted below that says that bike lanes are just about always safer, didn’t really talk about sidewalk riding though. Where I live (not Florida) there’s a lot of blind driveways, so riding on the sidewalk can be dangerous for cars coming out of their driveway. (Second link describes that). Happy riding!

Thanks for this, I’m not sure if I’m ready to switch though.
