That's the same 3-6 feet you get between parked cars and travel lanes on the major roads. Do you ride on the sidewalk all the way there then get in the bike lane? It has been said that if you don't want cars passing you so close to ride farther out so they can't squeeze by you and have to change lanes to pass. Or tow an empty child carrier that makes you look wider so they'll stay farther away. But I'm content with a well-defined bike lane. It's like maybe two in the whole city. My concern for riding on the sidewalk is not the glass, its the low bridge railing, perfect height to send a bicyclist right into the river.
