"The problem is that cyclists ride on the road yet go vastly slower than cars...."

No, that's not the problem, the problem is that motorists refuse to see that the safest solution to that conflict lies under their left foot, not their right.

How many people brake with their left foot? I drive both automatic and manual transmission cars. The only time I use the left foot is to engage the clutch on the manual transmission car. Does anybody in FR land use their left foot to brake?

The roads were built for cars. It makes no sense to allow traffic to be slowed down by somebody riding at bicycle speeds.
