11. Depending on your skills and opportunities, you can lose far more in opportunity costs than what you save. 12. The economics of getting hurt by a driver with no or inadequate insurance and assets are devastating, especially if you are the primary breadwinner.

The sign in the photo only seems to prohibit biking (and the other activities) on the sidewalk. A big difference between "bikes belong only on the street" and "only driving is valid".
