Ticketed for not riding in a Bike Lane

I've never been ticketed for not riding in a bike lane, but I have been for riding on the sidewalk around campus so I can somewhat share in his frustration.

My city recently painted new bike lanes near my house so maybe I can test this out on the local authorities. Their knowledge of bicycle laws are somewhat scarce outside of campus limits.

People all over the country are pushing for bike laws and with that comes a crackdown on how we ride.
                     I wouldn't mind bunny hopping over a bench to get to work every day!

  6. To be honest it's not completely fair that a whole bunch of cyclists take over the road especially in congested traffic had it before and to say the least it's VERY annoying.
