Cyclists on Sidewalks

This morning on my stroll in from Milennium Park, I was passed from behind by four cyclists on the sidewalk. That's a no-no.
Then while returning from lunch, I saw another cyclist, an employee for the city, almost hit a pedestrian. The young guy had to jump sideway to avoid some handlebars in his ribs.
I am very tempted to offer a forearm clothesline to the next knucklehead who refuses to ride his/her bike on the street.

Yeah, knock him into the street so I can take him out with my door.

C'mon TFG. It's been at least 36 hours.

I saw Mulder and Molina riding a tandem bike on the sidewalk the other day. Mulder was in back because he can't steer with his shoulder, and Molina can't provide any power back there.

I saw Mulder and Molina and C.C. Sabathia riding a triple tandem bike right around Lambert today.

That would be a mistake. Sabathia's VORC is pretty low this year.

You have totally hijacked my thread and neutered my rant, but I am laughing nonetheless.

As long as there is a 36 hour buffer...then we're ok.
