Sidewalk riding is legal in Nevada. If there is a bike lane (rarely, where I ride), you are supposed to bike in it. If I am on a fast-moving road and there’s an unprotected bike lane and there are also no pedestrians in sight - I ride on the sidewalk. The sidewalks are wide here, maybe 7 or 8 feet wide.
I rarely encounter pedestrians. People aren’t walking, they are driving in this car-centric state. (I rode 8 miles today; I saw 3 pedestrians on the path. I walked my bike around them.) If I have the choice between an empty, paved wide sidewalk or cars whizzing past me at 45 mph in an unprotected bike lane, I’m choosing the sidewalk every time. You call it bad form. I call it common sense. Sent from my iPad > On Jan 31, 2020, at 4:19 PM, PaulS <shinp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I've had lots of close calls as well.
