...they think sidewalks are for bikes and pedestrians should get out of their way.

Here in the Peoples Republic of Portland Oregon, they also think they own the roads and want cars out of their way.

lol! The Peoples' Republik of Kalifornistan just passed a law requiring motorists to ensure a minimum of 3' clearance when passing a bicyclist. Failure to do so can result in a $35 fine and more if there is a collision. I am pretty good at spacial awareness. Even so, I don't think I could tell if there was 3' space between my front fender and a bicyclist, nor do I believe any law enforcement officer from a distance could either.
