Downtown Dallas on a Sunny, Sunday Afternoon
After the Bishop Arts gig we drove through downtown on our way back north. The city is deserted on a Sunday and looked like it would be a hoot to ride through. What are the laws regarding cycling downtown? Sidewalk legal or illegal? Are there any dedicated bike paths downtown?
I plan to get a single speed in the next month or two and downtown Dallas is calling my name...

Downtown Dallas rocks on weekends. So long as you don't need mass transit to get there (check the www.dart.org site for the schedule). Lots of restaurants are open too, plenty of places to lockup to eat. Wear A Helmet! You'll get popped otherwise.

If it's deserted, why would you ride on the sidewalks?
I did find that the McDonalds doesn't like you bringing your bike in, but there's not a good place to lock it up outside, either.
I'm thinking it's pretty easy to get around on a Saturday, too.
The only dedicated bike path I know of in that area is the Katy Trail which starts just north of the American Airlines Center.

It's illegal to ride on the sidewalks Downtown. And make sure you wear a helmet, 'cause if the cops see you, they have been known to ticket for it.

I'd use the roads mostly but I want to confirm if I use the sidewalks some I won't be getting a ticket or hassled by the law.
I would assume there are some places to eat/coffee near the west end.

So long as you're not bombing though a crowd, you might not get hassled by the cops for riding on the sidewalks.
Here's a list of some places that are open on Sunday Downtown:
Here's a list of some places that are open on Sunday Downtown:
Opening Bell Coffee is at Akard & Pacific in the Mosaic
Ten Sports Grill on Main St. between Akard & Field
City Tavern on Main between Akard & Field
Sol Irlandes Mexican Grill on Main between Ervay & Akard at Stone Street Gardens
Iron Cactus on Main between Ervay & Akard next to Pegasus Plaza
Campisi's on Elm at Stone Street Gardens
Press Box Grill at the corner of Ervay & Elm
I've been to all of them, most of them on bike. They should all have places to lock up outside. There's plenty of police/security presence Downtown between DPD, DART & the Downtown Safety Patrol. I've never had a problem locking up my Colnago or Eddy Merckx outside of the above places.

Yep. It's illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk in downtown. On a weekend there are very few cops and you wont get hassled as long as you steer clear of the DART tracks.
Downtown is a dserted wasteland on the weekend.
You can really see stuff quickly though on a bike vs a car. Dealey Plaza, behind the fence on the grassy knoll, various office buildings, Thanksgiving Square.
Some parking garages have security, some don't. You can ride up to the top roof deck of some if you sniff out a good one.

I just don't see foot traffic in Downtown on weekends. Other than the Arts District I cannot recall many ongoing things to do there on the weekend. So much of Downtown is shuttered on the weekend it is impossible to find much to do there.
Deep Ellum and Uptown are both 2-3 minute bike rides away. Lots more to do there.
I could find plenty of stuff to do on a Saturday in downtown but could not make it a weekly or even a once a month thing. There is really nothing going on there.

Residents meaning the urban outdoorsmen(homeless) or the wayward person waiting for a DART bus?
