I recently moved here from Cleveland, and I've been enjoying the friendliness of the city's drivers towards me as a cyclist - my only complaint is that sometimes drivers make themselves unpredictable by trying to cede priority to me when they're not supposed to, which is a pretty minor complaint. Cyclists really really <i>really</i> shouldn't be on the sidewalk. Not only is it annoying to pedestrians, it's also less safe for us. The only people it benefits are impatient drivers.
