It all depends on where you live and the laws regarding cycling. Each state and city and town might have its own laws and bylaws regarding bicycles on sidewalks. There are times I ride on a sidewalk because in some situations it is safer and legal.
What is true in Texas doesn't apply in MA, and vice versa.
