Cyclists should be allowed to bike on the sidewalk

At slow speeds, cyclists essentially are pedestrians. The risk cyclists pose to pedestrians is astronomically smaller than the risk cars pose to anyone outside a car.

Cyclists should *not* be expected to share the road with cars unless those cars are going 30 kph or less, with speeds physically enforced by traffic calming infrastructure. I might be comfortable zooming down my local stroad on my e-bike—though obviously I'd prefer not to—but for those that ride slower, this is even more challenging. @NotJustBikes  has a great YouTube video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1l75QqRR48&t=239s&pp=ygUcdGhlIGJpa2UgbGFuZSBzeW91IGNhbid0IHNlZQ%3D%3D
