Really? I'm in the U.S. and the only place bikes are explicitly illegal is on the highways. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought bikes could take city streets and follow the rules of the road like everyone else. If there's a bike lane, use it, but otherwise behave mostly like a car (maybe giving cars a wide berth to pass you).
- shubb 4y agoDepends on local laws https://www.sallymorinlaw.com/bicycle-accidents/riding-your-bike-on-the-sidewalk-even-when-it-seems-safer-in-san-francisco-is-not-legal https://www.sallymorinlaw.com/bicycle-accidents/riding-your-... My point though wasn't really about the legalities of cycling - this is a business and technology site. It was about the disadvantage very large companies have because they need to follow the law very carefully. Probably should have written that.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoDoes pavement actually mean street in American English? It has always specifically meant the paved path used by pedestrians at the side of the roads in my admittedly very British English.
- apeace 4y agoInteresting, I didn't know that! I would call that a "sidewalk". To me "pavement" would be anything that's paved. I took it to mean streets because of the context of gig workers.
