Be extremely careful at intersections.  You're not where drivers expect you to be, you're going much faster than pedestrians would be going, and you may be going in an unexpected direction.  All this adds up to a much better chance of a collision at an intersection than you might think.

So is texting and driving (illegal), but it’s rampant. So I’ll use my common sense over obeying the rarely enforced sidewalk law. I’ll chance a ticket over a funeral.

I rode on a main thoroughfare today on the sidewalk. By the police station. With police passing by. I should technically be using that bike lane, but not a soul was using the sidewalk, so nobody - including the police - cared one whit. I went on my merry way.

Riding on the side wallks is illegal where I live, unless the sidewalk is part of signed multi-use pathway. I'm active in working to make our streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians when they are crossing them.

I agree with Mas about sidewalks. If the sidewalks are clear, use ‘em.
