there are some states where it is still legal for an adult to ride a bike on the sidewalk. Not many, but some.

There are also some municipalities (NYC?) that enacted local ordinance & signs making it illegal.

It's illegal here for anyone but children. Has been for a long time and I let them know if they ride past me. -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 05:53 7

    - FL does a lot of things well when it comes to bike/ped safety, but this is not one of them. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 10, 06:24 1
