Yeeeaaah...but, there's a huge difference between a sidewalk in New York City vs a sidewalk in Omaha, Nebraska. I think that it calls for adjusting to conditions.
Also, I don't mind cyclists on the side streets, in the least. However, when you're cycling on a major street, or city artery, then expect to be honked at and flipped off as you hold up commuter traffic. Omaha is not designed to be bicycle commuter friendly. There are a ton of trails...but they're just for pleasure riding. They don't really "go" anywhere. That leaves the streets, unsafe as they are. Yet...there are still those that insist.
