last sunday, i saw our bike laws being enforced ... my first time witnessing this.
a group of youngish teens, one on a bike riding on a busy city sidewalk.. ( we have cops on bikes also) , they stopped him and asked how old he was. as i was within hearing distance, the teen said 13, and the policeman said he should be riding on the road then. apparently wheel size also matters....
he also gave him a lecture on not having front and back reflectors, a bell, and not wearing a helmet.
lol the teen pointed to another young man and said... "it's his bike!" lol - the other teen was 15.
as a cyclist/pedestrian in a big city , i observe way too many ppl riding on the sidewalks, most of them adults.. it is a hazard to bikes and peds. too many distractions. jmo.
