Depends on the neighborhood. Tell someone in Ladd's Addition who lives on one of the bicycle boulevards (such as Ladd Avenue starting at Hawthorne) that, and they'd probably be inclined to agree if they've ever tried to get in or out of their driveway during morning or evening rush hour. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.51174&lon=-122.65324&zoom=16&layers=0B00FTF Coincidentally, the bridge just west of that recently had a bicycle-versus-pedestrian accident severe enough they're talking about eliminating pedestrian access to the Hawthorne Bridge in a tradeoff for a second bicycle lane each direction, which suggests the bridge is carrying close to as many bicycle commuters as cars. This is actually pretty believable for the location. http://www.streetfilms.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/portland-hawthorne-poster.jpg Notice the cyclists more or less ignoring the pedestrian lane (camera left, their right) leaving the bicycle (their left) lane free for faster commuters. Not hard to imagine why they want to move pedestrians to the next bridge, which has sidewalks but no bicycle facilities.
