Introduction Attention getter- bicyclists, are they allowed to ride in the streets or on the sidewalk? According to the Findlaw website in California copyright 2016, anyone over the age of thirteen is not not allowed to bike on sidewalks.

Secondly, I talked about why you should care about bike lanes, and lastly what we can do to help gain more bike lanes. Without bike lanes, there is just too much confusion and safety issues regarding where bicyclists are to ride their bikes. We need bike lanes to allow for a more active and in shape country as well as helping out our ecosystem at the same time. Thank
