A fine? What dystopian hellhole do you live in? Where I live in Indiana, almost no one rides in the street, always on the sidewalk, the only people ever riding in the street are those dorks in full underarmor outfits that revolve their entire life around being a bike owner. No one gets fined for riding in the sidewalk here, and I’m honestly horrified that that’s a thing anywhere.
a developed country where cyclists are seen as road users as opposed to targets, and where letting them on the sidewalk would effectively mean pedestrians can no longer use the sidewalk

Why and how does that mean that? I’ve never had any issue riding around pedestrians.
