I ride on the sidewalk when I can because I do not want to be run over by some frothingfash in a truck with a 12" lift who's infuriated by having to see a bicycle

I can understand that. I know that the laws (and road conditions) differ from place to place. Where I'm from, sidewalk riding is restricted to younger people, and so as a cycling instructor, I cannot advise my students to ride on the sidewalk, as it would be dangerous to pedestrians.

Thanks for your perspective, though! I hope you have a lovely day and most importantly, stay safe out there!
