I don’t know your city, but in America it’s very well established that riding bikes on the sidewalk is less safe for cyclists as well as other sidewalk users. This applies to e-scooters just as well, and includes car dominated cities.

Turns out people are really bad as judging relative risk when it comes to traffic. If you live in a modern western city, I bet your city is the same.
