Dear guy-out-walking-his-dog,

Yes, I know it's illegal to be on the sidewalk. But no, there was no reason to stand in front of me and proceed to rant about how you hope I should get a ticket. Seriously, I'm on the road 90% of the time, and the 10% when I'm on the sidewalk, I keep my speeds down to how fast someone could run, and if I see a pedestrian, I slow down to jogging speed. Please understand that as much as I try to follow the laws, I also prefer not to add to the risks of an accident by having to cross a busy street to get from the exit of the pedestrian / bike path to the right side of the road with the bike path, only to have to make a left turn in two blocks.
