Oh, I’m sorry to hear this. Bikes are NOT allowed on sidewalks in my town, or skateboard or anything else with wheels.
My friend’s son had to go to court when he was caught riding a skateboard on the sidewalk - judge chewed him out good.
Doesn’t stop idiots from riding bikes FAST on sidewalks, my elderly mother almost got mowed down by one. I’ve been known to scream at them if I see them - embarrassed my husband to death, even though he was in a wheelchair and was vulnerable to being run down.
Bikes, ebikes and scooters aren’t allowed on the sidewalk here either.
But some ignore the law.
Motorcycles on the other hand do in fact stay off the sidewalks, to their credit.
Ebikes are more dangerous than regular bikes obviously. I am not a fan but if we must have them then the laws need to be enforced. Keep the bicycle rules. Which, hardly anyone here is doing either.
