I live in Riga, here cyclists ride on the sidewalk, along with e-scooters. First, give cyclists bike paths, second develop your culture around cycling and walking. It's not a problem here. Virtually everyone cycles here (more bikes than people in this country). I am over 40 and I can only think of two people I know who had more serious injuries (one broken tooth and one broken leg), but both managed to fall without any other traffic involved. Kids in our city walk or bike to school by themselves when they are 9 or 10 (some earlier) and there are virtually never accidents.
