Surprise residents: What is the real story behind 'The Bullard diet'. Kids needing to bike ride to school on bust streets. I have personally seen 2 cars turn unsuspectingly and got serious damage to their vehicles but I RARELY ever see a child using the bike lane, nor people even walking down the sidewalk along Bullard. How crowded was this sidewalk supposed to be for a child to even pass a walking pedestrian, let alone HIT them?
As a mom, I would much rather a child on a bike having a run-in with a pedestrian, a non- life threatening collision than with a 2 ton vehicle going 40 MPH.
The City of Surprise is taking the bike law too far until I googled it and found out...
The state of Arizona does not have a law against bicyclists riding their bikes on sidewalks with other pedestrians. However, the state does allow each city to determine their specific bike laws.
Time to start re-thinking the validity and substantuality of some laws.
