Can you ride motorized bikes on the sidewalk? Also how many cc's do they have to be before you need a license or insurance or plates to ride on the street?
Both questions would be much easier to answer if we knew where you lived.Can you ride motorized bikes on the sidewalk? Also how many cc's do they have to be before you need a license or insurance or plates to ride on the street?
While commuting, I ride on a mix of road, bike paths, and sidewalks. Technically, it's illegal to ride on sidewalks in Maryland. I still do it because in some areas, it's just too freakin' dangerous to ride on the road. I've never know anyone to get a ticket for riding on sidewalks.But it raises a point, why should we not be allowed on the sidewalk? If your slower than traffic we should get out the way. I understand it's called a side "Walk" but still.
Good points Hophead, the some roads are just too dangerous with no space on shoulder for bikes, I also haven't heard of anyone getting a ticket for riding on the sidewalk. I have the gkids ride on the sidewalk while I ride in street, if the man doesn't like that, give me the ticket every time. I do think they look the other way unless you are giving ped's trouble.While commuting, I ride on a mix of road, bike paths, and sidewalks. Technically, it's illegal to ride on sidewalks in Maryland.

The man may look the other way when it comes to bikes, but motorized vehicles is another matter.
Bummer, that sucks!!!!!I have, it happens in Austin all the time. I had a friend just a month ago get a $500 fine for it. It's nuts here.
