   You're going to have a collision sooner or later unless you are going so   
   slow that you might as well be walking. Sidewalk riding is the most   
   likely way to get hit by a car (see crash type manual for bicycle-car   
   collisions) and RARE instances of hit from behind  do not change it.   
   Most of which are drunk drivers who can still hit you over on the   
   sidewalk.   
      
   Please stop spewing this sidewalk riding misinformation. All it does is   
   cause people not to learn how to bike properly and make drivers think   
   bicyclists shouldn't be on the road. You are being counter productive.
