Reply #5: In some cities

[Pierre.Suave]

Like Minneapolis, riding on the sidewalk is illegal. Personally I HATE walking down the sidewalk and having some asshole on a bike come from behind silently and passing within inches.

Car drivers ALSO have to realize that a bike has just as much right of way as you do on the road, which also means bikes have to follow the traffic laws.

So no, do not ride on the sidewalk, it is stupid and dangerous, and auto drivers, you also need to realize that that bike has just as much right as you do to be on the road.

Yes, I ride a bike and yes car drivers piss me off with their behavior. I come close to dying each and every time I get on that thing.
