Riding on Sidewalks

Bicycling on Sidewalks

Bicycling is allowed on sidewalks, EXCEPT where buildings are not set back from the sidewalk, as in commercial districts. Pedestrians always have the right of way on sidewalks and in crosswalks. Give an audible warning before passing pedestrians, and pass with care.
