[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who let their kids ride their bikes on the sidewalk and then get mad when you are in their way while walking. If you are old enough to ride in the street, do it. If not, go to a park with your kids to ride. Bikes don't belong on the sidewalk, regardless of the age of the rider. [/quote]
I can't stand adults who do this. I've stopped moving out of their way[/quote]

Not with you on this one.

We live close-in and to get to done of the trails we would have to be on extremely busy, fast roads with zero shoulders.  I'm not putting an 8-year old on those--that's stupid. We are very respectful,, go extremely slow and dismount and push the bikes if the sidewalks are crowded.[/quote]

No.  The answer is that you have your kid WALK his bike on the sidewalk until you get to the trail. There should be no bike RIDING on sidewalks, even by kids. My toddler has almost been hit several times by kids wobbling by on a bike. I also have an older kid and he walks his bike to the park before mounting it. [/quote]

Riding on the sidewalk is legal in DC, outside the central business district, in all of Arlington, and in Alexandria except for two streets in Old Town.  It is often the safer place to bike.  Cyclists must yield ROW on sidewalks to pedestrians, but are not obligated to walk their bikes, and IMO should not be. Of course in many places and at many times there are few or no pedestrians on the sidewalk. [/quote]
