Re: New Rider, First Bike & Lots of Questions

Congrats on getting your license! As far as the parking on the sidewalk question goes, I can honestly say I have no idea. My suggestion would be to ask an actual police officer sometime. Because no matter what the laws do or don't say, what really matters is what the police will or won't enforce. The law might say "no parking on the sidewalk" but that doesn't mean the police will enforce that law rigidly.

Just like here in Phoenix, Arizona : the law states that a person is not allowed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalks, they must ride in the street. But with the way people drive out here, you'd have to be crazy to ride a bicycle in the street! (unless there is a bike lane, which have very few of). And in the 26 years I have lived here, I have NEVER heard of a person cited for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk.

That's why I say, ask a police officer. Ride safe amigo :2tup:
