They had a sidewalk right next to them for a good portion of the time we were stuck behind them. It was populated by the occasional pedestrian, but there was still enough room for them to pass by no problem.. it was a decent sized side walk. If they felt they had to travel on the road the very least they could have done was double up or single file. I'm honestly surprised there was no accident when people were passing them because the roads were very busy since it was rush hour.
Dunno about SC, but most places it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk.

Of course, double or single file is usually the law, too.

So, those of you railing against bicycles breaking the law, do you also rail against motorcycles passing on a double yellow line?

(For what it's worth, I think both are stupid.)

In Toronto, it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk if your bike's wheels are above a certain size (16", I believe). This, of course, does nothing to stop idiots on stunt bikes or ebikes from riding there.

In the Province of Ontario, the centre line isn't a regulatory device. It doesn't matter what colour it is or if it's a single, or double line. There are many places where municipalities try to use a solid or double solid line, to stop passing, where you can see for a Kilometre or more in either direction and where there are no intersections/driveways.

Seems like the fucking donut squad in NYC really likes to make up their own fucking laws as to what's allowed on a bike, huh?

Bikes in NYC. Serious business. Glad they got all other crime under control so well, that they can concentrate on this fucking shit, huh?

Fucking cunts.

In Toronto, a couple of years back, police were using the section of our Highway Traffic Act that bans flashing lights that would look like an emergency vehicle, to charge people for flashing their lights at oncoming traffic, warning of a speed trap.

Donuts must inspire creativity.

No, because motorcycles aren't hindering anyone by doing so (assuming it's all clear ahead).

HELL yes.

I'm pretty sure I've expressed my opinion on it in almost every thread I've posted in that has a video of some asshole doing it...
