Is it illegal to ride my bicycle on the sidewalk in Cupertino,CA?

Question

I thought I read somewhere that it is actually NOT a state law. Whats the verdict? How much is the ticket?

Answer 1

Bicycles MUST follow all the rules of the road like motor vehicles do.

Answer 2

Try calling the non-emergency police line and ask them and see what they have to say.

Answer 3

AS long as you ride safely ands courteously,  yield the right of way to others, and obey signage, it is legal to ride bikes on the sidewalks in Cupertino unless specifically signed, as in heavy commercial retail areas.
