Bicycle laws in Georgia: Is it legal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk?

Petal

as opposed to riding in the street or the bike lane? I really don't trust drivers, and I would prefer not to ride on the road, but on the sidewalk. I just got a new bike...haven't had one for 30 years.

No, a bicycle is a vehicle, and is to be ridden on the road. You must plan you rides to include riding on quieter streets that parallel the main drags that frighten you. As your handling skills and confidence improves, you will become much less fearful of the shared riding.

Ride with other experienced riders whenever possible. Hitch on the back of a group as you can. There is strength in numbers, you will learn a lot of skills, meet new friends, and can ask cycling questions.
You will get beyond this ,,,, really.

Don't forget to wear your helmet.... I know Georgia is an adult option helmet state. It is like not putting on your seat belt when you get in a car!

Recommend a bicycle helmet with low wind noise.?

Over 20mph or into headwinds, I can't hear at all on my bike. I've tried ear plugs, ear headbands, cotton... nothing works. Yesterday, I took off my helmet briefly. Wow! What a difference! The wind noise is coming from the vents in the helmet, not from wind hitting my ears.

I'm not going to ride in a full face or aero helmet with no vents. I've tried the slipstreamz, but as I said, it's not noise from the wind hitting the ears, it's wind through the helmet vents. Can anyone recommend a helmet that's a quiet as riding helmetless?

Answer
Get a mirror and use your sight that is what I did. A better helmet also works, the large one size fits all create more wind noise.
