My city has bike lanes and I have never used them before. I'm a bit apprehensive to use them (I would really prefer to bike on the sidewalk). Does anyone have any tips on biking on them? I guess I'm scared about cars.

Answer
Buy and wear a helmet and buy and place and use as many red/yellow blinking lights you can place in front and rear and sideways on this bike. DO NOT ride your bike on sidewalks in a city, any city. It is illegal and you can hurt someone and or yourself. All traffic laws apply to bikes as well and that includes hand signals for turning. Right or wrong, legal or not, bikes shall end up hurt or dead when bike meets car. BE VISIBLE, BE SMART AND BE CAREFUL!

Can you ride your bicycle in car lanes with helmet?

Going down a mountain with a One way lane (going up the mountain or down the mountain) solid line.
Can you drive a bicycle down the road with your helmet on? It's a one way street with solid yellow line and it's a lot of curves so cars can't be speeding.
In the DMV booklet says that vehicles need to share the road with bicyclist and motorcyclist. In California.
Can I ride down the mountain with my bike without police pulling me over?
There ain't no bicycle lane on that road.

Answer
Are you at least 18 years of age? Then you can ride without a helmet.

If you are under 18 years old, CVC 21212 requires you to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle on the road, the sidewalk or any bike path.

You should familiarize yourself with the specific of CVC 21202 and 21208 to understand the keep right rule for bicycles and the bike lane rule.

You should also check my references below for how to ride safely on the road.
