Is it ok to ride a bike on the sidewalk without a helmet?

Mika

so im 14 years old, and i wanna exercise or tone my legs with riding a bike on the sidewalk for like 30 minutes and the problem is i dont wanna wear a helmet nor i dont have one.And is it legal not to? or the police will chase me and give me a ticket? Pls answer asap. Thanks !

Answer
Yea I hate helmet hair too. That's an interesting question and not easily answered. A random check of ten states found that only one (Georgia) actually prohibits bicycles from using the sidewalk. Some cities and towns have local ordinances prohibiting sidewalk use in certain areas such as the downtown business area. As for helmet laws, most refer to "bicycle use in public areas" which would include sidewalks. By the way, riding on the sidewalk actually increases your risk of injury from a car due to intersections and cross walks. Check out the stats in the link below.

Tony Tsui

I want to get a new bicycle to ride recreationally. I will only be riding on neighborhood roads and at parks. I will not use it as a mean of transportation or on public roads.

Answer
A full FORTY-FIVE percent of all cycling accidents are "solo falls". No one else or nothing else involved.

So unless all the streets in your neighborhood are lined with marshmallows - wear a helmet. Most people who don't like helmets do so because they're too hot. Easily cured. Don't buy a cheapo one from Wally World! Get a good one with lots of ventilation either at a local bike shop or Amazon.com.
