Edit: on the bright side, there is a free bike rack for the taking. Outside Winco Foods in Salem Oregon. Get it while it's available! -

The street I live on doesn't have continuous #sidewalks (because #Vancouver can't afford nice things), it has #FreeParking on both sides, there's enough space for one car to pass and a bit of extra room. Similar to the picture.
People walk on the road. Some drivers slow down when passing, but most maintain the speed.
It's terrifying. I got used to it when biking, but sharing the road with vehicles when #walking is a whole new thing. What should I do, tAkE tHe LanE? Ridiculous.
