DC Regulation 1201.9 states "....that no person shall ride a bicycle upon a sidewalk within the Central Business District except on those sidewalks expressly designated by Order of the Mayor...." [Who knew Tony had so much power?]. The Central Business District is bounded by 23rd Street NW, Mass. Ave, 2nd Street NE-SE, D Street to 14th Street NW and Constitution Ave to 23rd Street NW. Looks like they'd be legal on the sidewalks. BTW, 1201.9 starts out "There shall be no prohibition against any person riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk within the District...." before going into the Central Business District thing. Not can you legally ride on the sidewalk, no one can prohibit you from doing so. There is the little catch "...so long as the rider does not create a hazard." -- Ken Lyons Inside the Beltway [Remove the first two digits to reply]
