In most areas of the US, it is illegal to ride on the sidewalks (and it is unsafe to do so, as well). Cyclists commonly travel at an average speed of about 15 miles per hour (as low as 10 for some, as high as 20 for others); this kind of speed on a sidewalk is very dangerous because pedestrians do not expect someone to be riding this quickly and will step in front of them, causing a danger for both the cyclist and the pedestrian. No, cyclists belong on the road and have as much right to it as cars do.
