You know, I always figured it was more for bikes and shit than cars, but these mfers are riding their bikes on the sidewalks anyway. You're right, what the hell are these enormous roads actually for?

Not that it's a huge problem, a big empty road is far nicer than a road of any size packed with cars. But it is a weird urban planning choice.
