Bikes have different safety risks than just walkers. Explain how either you as a biker stay safe or how you as a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk can stay safe with bikers around.
Remember that bikes are considered vehicles, ride your bike in the biker lane on the side of the road rather than the sidewalk to give room to walkers. If you must be on a sidewalk make sure to shout out to walkers as you come up behind them so they know you are there. As a walker always let the biker go first- if the hit you it will hurt! Be aware of bikers coming towards you.
