I live in Dallas - it's not a bike friendly area. Cars already ignore bicycles. I'm interested in protecting myself RIGHT NOW when I'm riding, not at some point in the future after I've educated everyone on the road.
And I'm familiar with the hazards of being on the sidewalk. Dallas isn't a place where people walk - I can count on one hand the number of pedestrians I see. When I approach some sort of intersection-like area where a car could be, I make sure a car isn't approaching, etc., etc.

I literally bike like everyone is out to kill me.
