Increase in bicyclists raises safety concerns

I don’t know whether it’s the cooler weather, the latest rise in the price of gas or a sudden environmental concern on the part of some, but there seems to be a lot more bicycles out and about these days. This is in many ways a heartening sign for those who want to see fewer internal combustion-powered vehicles on the roads, but it raises a couple of issues. Should people be driving their bicycles on the sidewalks, even the wider sidewalks downtown? I have seen more than a few very close calls involving pedestrians coming out of buildings or turning corners.
