The Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society believes that cycling on the | |||
sidewalk is unsafe. It causes bikes to enter intersections unexpectedly and | |||
can be unpleasant for pedestrians. We encourage everyone to follow the city | |||
of Edmonton bylaw: if your wheels are over 50 centimeters (20” and over) in | |||
diameter, please ride on the road or on an appropriate piece of bike | |||
infrastructure such as a multi-use trail. | |||
We also recognize that some areas of our city are not yet safely navigable | |||
by bikes except by using the sidewalk. In such cases, we recommend that you: | |||
- reduce speed | |||
- cede right of way to pedestrians | |||
- warn approaching pedestrians with a bell or other audible signal | |||
- pass pedestrians and others with the greatest of care and respect | |||
- dismount and walk their bike when conditions warrant it | |||
- return to the road at the earliest safe opportunity to do so | |||
