The US is a big place. Some areas are OK for pedestrians and bicyclists. Many are not so friendly or accommodating.

I've been around the US.

Even in this article, the driver didn't seem to have done it because of disregard for cyclers or pedestrians. It claimed s/he moved out of the way to avoid traffic, and probably didn't see the cycler.

In China, they might actually go on the sidewalk intentionally and drive at you assuming you will move out of the way for them.
