Got me to thinking, as a novice bike rider, now I am paranoid I am going to get picked up on my bike for doing something wrong. Whether its riding on the sidewalk, going against traffic... heck, even looking like I am danger out there.

So do you think I have something to worry about here? What do I need to know here?

PS- Yes this seems like a silly question, but I am completely new to bike riding so I have no idea really. Thank you.
Read your local highway traffic act ... especially the section pertaining to bicycles.
