I visited a town that is in a great spot for cycling trips. The locals painted 🚳 on every sidewalk, hung up posters and give cyclists on sidewalks a talking-to while the main roads often lack even dashed bicycle lanes and feel really dangerous to ride on. At least there is no free car parking.
I guess not a great spot for cycling trips any more? Let them fuck around and find out
I kinda wanna go there, rent a giant American car, rev the engine outside their houses at 2am with the speakers blasting, and tell them I wanted to ride my bicycle instead but the signs said no bikes.
Sounds more like your issue is with the drivers. The law states (at least in Europe) that cyclists should be on the road when there's no bicycle lane. And that's what they do everywhere I've been so far and it's fine. Drivers complain sometimes that they have to slow down for a few seconds before they can pass, but whatever, screw them.
If cyclists are allowed on the sidewalks, where are pedestrians supposed to go? Especially since often they're barely wide enough for 2-3 people. Hugging the wall every minute to let a bicycle pass isn't fun.
