Sidewalk riding depends on locality. In my town it's legal to do so.
Car drivers aren't blameless either. SOme go out of their way to hassle bicylists. I was riding my bike down a fairly wide 2-lane road when a bunch of yahoos scared the beejeebers out of me by coming up to me yelling profanities and more while passing ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ME IN THE GRASS.
I don't think I'll ever forget that.
But as a cyclist I've noticed that the "professionals"; the triathletes, the racing cyclists are some of the worst offenders of road laws. It seems as if they are so full of themselves and their elitism that they want ot flaunt it.
