Riding with a child trailor on the sidewalk would be suicidal, please, go try it and report back, assuming you can find more than 100' feet of continous sidewalk in RI.
I picked up my son from day care last week via bike. It was a fantastic workout and he had a blast.
The problem isn't a 45 mph road, it's the freaking drivers who think life will end if they are bothered to slow down for 15 seconds while they wait for traffic to pass. There's a reason bikes aren't allowed on the highway, but are on local roads...duh.
Just relax and slow down.
