Otherwise, riding against traffic along the edge of the road, or on sidewalks, is much safer
Spend any amount of time on a bike and you’ll likely realize why cyclists are treated like drivers of vehicles by the law. Cyclists have much more in common with drivers of motor vehicles than pedestrians including high speed of travel (at times), inability to move sideways instantly or reverse direction quickly, ability to travel long distances relative to a pedestrian, etc.
No mode of travel is completely safe but at least cycling is fun and good exercise. Until massive changes are made in road infrastructure (likely never going to happen) cyclists will continue to be best served sharing the road with other drivers. As much as I used to hate the idea, self-driving cars ought to go a long way to improving things on the road for cyclists as I trust a preprogrammed computer to not be an a$$hole unlike some drivers.
