I just dont feel comfortable taking the sidewalk on that bridge- I think that it is because I am tall enough that on a bike my center of gravity is above the railing and if I slipped I would go over the rail. I just take the lane. I dont do it every day but once or twice a month and It feels safer to me- besides I always go over from st johns to downtown and I have to be in the left lane.
I really wish they would monitor traffic speeds on that bridge better- most of the issue I have is people who shoot by me when I am at the 35MPH speed limit on the way down hill.
