300.347. Riding bicycle on sidewalks, limitations - motorized bicycles prohibited.- No person shall ride a bicycle upon a sidewalk within a business district;
(2) Whenever any person is riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk, such person shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian;
(3) No person shall ride a motorized bicycle upon a sidewalk.
SideWALK or sideRIDE? That's what I thought. There's a reason it has that name. The sideWALK does not belong in a conversation about a motorist throwing trash at bicyclists on a 35 MPH road when the lane they were in was completely free of other vehicles. What red herring would you employ if the incident had taken place a couple hundred feet down the road where there is no sideWALK? Oh, and I don't expect an answer, I wanted to give you another opportunity to put your insincerity on display.
