[blparent] sidewalks

[Veronica Smith]

Walking  down the side walk in front of Walmart Gab and I counted 11 carts
parked on the walk and four cars with their noses across the walk. You are
right, if the bikers had commond sense and moved when a blind person came
upon them, but to tell us to get off so they can pass, sheesh!

I guess I'd rather have bicyclists on the sidewalk than weaving in and out 
of traffic, which is dangerous for everybody, and there aren't always bike 
paths.  But I do believe some bicyclists are rude and don't watch out for 
pedestrians, and not putting a cart back in the corral is rude, too.  It 
seems that being inconsiderate has become okay to some people.
