What would kona do?

-the rarely used sidewalk?

If your bike is physically uncomfortable in the rough, the choice is
between the sidewalk and the narrow road. I face such a choice on the
way between Atlantic Beach and Long Beach; I take the road and everyone
else can pass me, wait for me, or get a bike. I only hop the sidewalk
if a road (not this one, it never gets that jammed) is so crowded that
not even a bike can get through. NYS law allows sidewalk riding except
where prohibited, for example, all of NYC. If you think riding the
sidewalk makes life easier for everyone, do it. If you get nabbed, go
to court with a bunch of 8x10 color glossies with circles and arrows and
a paragraph on the back explaining what each one is. You could get a
precedent allowing the practice.
