Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

Ever heard of Directional Requirements for biking on sidewalks? We were chatting about that topic with a local attorney, which led to today’s post. Californians, note Spriesterbach v. Holland cited in this post: https://bikemonterey.org/directional-requirements-for-bicycle-riding-on-sidewalks.html

@bikemonterey I've never heard sidewalk directionality and actually thought this might be an elaborate April Fools joke lol.

Thought I wouldn't put it past some sort of other state or municipality to implement such a silly law, although it wouldn't seem to serve any recognizable purpose anyway. Some places don't even have sidewalks to start with.
