    Are bicycles normally allowed on sidewalks? I’ve always lived where they have to ride in bike lanes or on bike paths.

      Generally no. In my state that’s illegal, though everyone looks the other way if it’s just kuds on regular bikes. I doubt that’ll continue to be true if kids start blowing past a 30mph though

          It really depends. IMO you should ride wherever is safest for everyone. I would say more people use scooters on the sidewalk than bikes. And the 15-20mph is dangerous claims don’t hold up when you can literally go 1mph or walk it if the sidewalks have pedestrians. Going 20mph on a sidewalk with people around is dangerous. Going 20mph on a sidewalk that is empty when the road has shit or no bike lanes is most likely much safer for everyone.
