[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, but be really careful doing that. A lot of new cyclists will swerve back and forth between the street and the sidewalk frequently, and that can be very dangerous. In general its best to stick to one or the other. [/quote] Totally agreed, I am talking about going half a block on the sidewalk around a double parked car or garbage truck, that sort of thing. It can be dangerous if you don't have a lot of experience, but if you are careful and ride slowly it's totally safe and legal. Just be respectful of people walking![/quote] Just so you know, you are allowed to pass a double parked car on the left, going over the yellow line, just as a car would in the same circumstance (and with similar dangers of course) I can understand a relative newby's reluctance to do that. Notthe danger is not just an issue of speed and pedestrians - it is when you swerve back into the road. [/quote]
