It’s not dangerous to block a bike lane. The bikers can wait. They are fewer in number and inconveniencing them is less problematic. If they’re worried about being vulnerable, they are free to ride at low speeds on the sidewalk, or just not use a bicycle.


In many places, bicyclists are not fewer in number, not that the distiction makes the rest of your comment rational.


Riding at slow speeds on the sidewalk is illegal, similar to driving at low speeds through the bike lane.


It is not illegal in most cities. Although SF is an exception.
