[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]illegal everywhere[/quote] Sadly, it is legal in most of DC. In every other city I've ever lived in (proper metropolises in the US and Europe), sidewalk cycling is illegal. I think it is a vestige of DC's decades of decline, when sidewalks were empty. The city dropped from ~800k residents in 1950 to ~500k in 1985 (or something). A DC whose sidewalks are filling back up should not allow cyclists to scatter pedestrians.[/quote] No, it's a vestige of DC's murderous drivers. It's been considered and revised in recent years, it's very intentional. It's permitted outside of the downtown area in places where there are not tons of pedestrians. But bicyclists are also encouraged to use the street when possible and safe. [/quote]
