Pretty sure that bicycle riding on sidewalks is illegal in all of Aurora unless you're 12 yrs. old and under. This is a very old ordinance dating back some 40 years. Not sure if they enforce it much outside of downtown area as i've ridden on the sidewalk especially along Odgen Ave., New York St., McCoy Dr. and others nearby Fox Valley Mall. As for the person who ended up arrested, he would of got off easy if he wasn't hiding drugs and hanging around in a bad area after dark.
