This would be a dream.
I live in a reasonably deserted/seasonal neighbourhood, so it has a neat 2-lane divided avenue down the middle, but it is usually very empty (a car maybe every minute).
This doesn't mean I can ride anywhere but the very edge of the asphalt, almost tripping my pedals on the sidewalk rise (I forget the word in English), since drivers love to pick up some speed in the avenue and drive at frankly disrespectfully close distances, even though they could have almost entire lane of distance to a cyclist.

- kroltan 5y agoNot here, because the sidewalks are not continuous or very well maintained, so such ill folk would not be able to rush at their desired maximum speed.

- kroltan 5y agoThat's the word, thank you!
- silicon2401 5y agoIt is. Maybe you can take short trips somewhere close that allows it, or at least lets you feel a little safer?
