Is riding your bike on the sidewalk bad manners?

[DavidsGhost]

i went for a ride today through a neighborhood, pretty wealthy, and a lady talking to another lady in her yard seemed to give the the eye because I was riding on the side walk

is it bad form?

 

[deadshot138]

Pretty sure it's illegal

Pretty sure it's illegal

in a neighborhood? the laws differ

 

[Screwtape]

Are you older or younger than 12?

Bicyclists want all the benefits and privileges of pedestrians and motorists with the drawbacks and responsibilities of neither.

I’d rather get sneered at than peeled off the road.

This you? Sounds about right.

 

[Ares Black]

Yeah, bikes are supposed to be on the street.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

And yes laws differ regarding whether you can cycle on the sidewalk.

In some places, you can regardless of age and it’s a good thing too.

Not as a first option but as a safe last resort.

Don't you have to ride in bike lanes? Thats why they're there.

It depends on the area but, if you do that shit on a street with a bikelane it should be legal to kick your ass into the street.

Imagine someone walking on the sidewalk encountering a simpering man-child riding his fucking toy on the sidewalk and having no place to move but the street or someone's lawn to let the boomer pass.

 

[Zinger]

People who ride on sidewalks are assholes.

lol cycling isn’t a generational thing, you idiot.

Sometimes a particular stretch of road isn’t safe and the sidewalk is where you have to bail.

Sorry this gets your panties in a bunch but that’s never going to change. Lol

[Saku's Son]

Yes it's bad manners, and unsafe for pedestrians.

You're putting your safety over the safety of others.

 

[DavidsGhost]

welp i guess i should ride in the street now

 

[Screwtape]

You didn't deny being a baby boomer.

Bail? Don't try to make riding a bike on the sidewalk sound hardcore. If it isn't safe that means it's meant for cars.

Yeah, I like stepping into traffic so an absolute pussy on two wheels can cruise by on his huffy.
