Bikes take much less space and they will go around people,
Well, I seriously doubt that bikes generally go “around” people. For pedestrians in a pedestrian environment, a bike is about as dangerous as a car is for bikes on a road.
you risk getting hit by a car if you walk into the streets
Just like you risk getting run over by a combat-biker in the pavement, the pedestrian zone in the city, or a pedestrian crossing. And don’t tell me those things dont happen - I see them every day.
I don’t know where you come from (I guess US?) but I live in a city that has a very long bike lane shared with pedestrian sidewalk and I take that road very often, nothing ever happens. Worst case scenario I just ring my bicycle bell and they move aside, which is a plus because I love ringing my bell :)
Worst case scenario I just ring my bicycle bell and they move aside
That’s what I’m talking about: Bikers complain about cars, but totally ignore their relationship to pedestrians. “I ring my bell and let them hop away”…

Nope. Europe.

You qre a very angry person. Absolutely nobody has any issues with what I described 🤷♂️
I’m not angry. I just describe facts that you obviously don’t like.
