Bicycles do not belong on the sidewalk, and in many cities it is unlawful to
ride them there. Everywhere I've been bicycles belong on the road and are
required to follow motor vehicle laws.



They certainly belong on the sidewalk since they can't even come close
to the legal speed limit. Why do you think everyone hates them?
It's not because they look stupid, it's because they seem to enjoy
causing unsafe conditions on the roads!
