@@davidnuttall-y7l Actually, almost all people are allowed to ride bicycles on a sidewalk, provided that they respect pedestrian traffic ... unless there is an ordinance in the area that specifically prohibits that. When they do so, however, they are subject to the rules as a pedestrian. For example, a cyclist can't be on a sidewalk, encounter a "don't walk" sign and cross against a "don't walk" sign even if cars going in the same direction have a green light. Similarly, they are not supposed to weave in and out of the street/sidewalk to gain the favorability. For example, a person traveling on the sidewalk and encountering a "don't walk" can't then hop the curb into the street to get the favorability of the cars on the street with a green light.

If you don't think the streets are safe, then pay for proper bike paths in your city. But, the kids need to stay off rhe sidewalks especially when people are using them to walk on. I don't need as a Senior to be forced into traffic because you can't properly raise your child. My point wasn't about the woman's over the top reaction but to counter all you entitled people thinking your kids safety is any more important than the people on the sidewalk. It's against the law for a reason. Do you let your kid bike all over the mall walks when it's clearly posted that they cannot?!? There's a reason cops and security are constantly shooing away skateboarders and cyclists all the time. It's unsafe and can get them sued if they ignore it. If you don't feel it's safe for your 12 year old to bike in the street, then perhaps he's too young for a bike. All I know is that I biked in the street at a younger age than 12 all the time and my parents taught me that it was against the law to bike on sidewalks. So when as kids, or even adults, we did, we yielded to the pedestrians. Today, it's] forced to be the other way around. It's one thing when it's on a quiet cul de sac, but this nonsense goes on busy city streets now. If it's not safe for the bicyclists in the street, how can you can expect a pedestrian to move there to get out of the bicyclists way?!? You're the Karen's too, not just this angry neighbor lady.

This is what happens when disputes arise involving children. I was in the centre of such disputes involving a mad maths teacher and my father over homework issues. Towards the end of an interview with the teacher my father calmly told me to go to the car and stay there. He was sensible enough to avoid me seeing him "engage in conversation" with the teacher regarding punishments for not being anle to do the homework. After that the teacher left me alone and did not engage with me in any way but that suited me well. I was never good at maths but teachers in those days used corporal punishment as a one-size-fits-all solution to all school problems including learning difficulties etc.

But, as a person whose job takes him on many sidewalks during the Pandemic I was shocked to see how bicyclists, scooters, and skateboarders have taken over the sidewalks. I've had too many close calls to count and was knocked into restaurant patrons one time, and the entitled kid came back to admonish me !!! when I barked at him to stay off the sidewalk. This boy was doing 25mph on a scooter and thought he had the right of a way on a sidewalk. And it's because of your selfishness and entitlement that he thinks that. It was hard to blame the kid after I realized when talking to him he had no clue he was in the wrong. YOU are to blame and other parents who cultivate this attitude. Maybe this woman just finally had it with being run over countless times in front of her own house. I don't know the situation other than what was on the video. How many times has this happened before?!? Teach your kids right from wrong, and if it isn't safe for kids on bikes in the street, it certainly isn't safe for kid and adult pedestrians to be forced into the street to avoid them
