Not because I think it's a bad idea. I was just imagining myself walking along peacefully and suddenly hearing a horn sounding. I'm not sure I'd instinctively do any particular thing in response to a horn sound. Stop and don't move? Don't move horizontally? Turn around and look in all directions?

I would prefer that the bikes stay off the sidewalks and that accommodation for them be made in the streets. At least where I live in downtown Sacramento, where there are plenty of both bicyclists and pedestrians. Each need their own place, in my opinion.
