The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health,
safety and welfare because of the hazards to the public and the users
of bicycles and annoyance to the public in the places that are public
or open to the public. The Board of Trustees finds that the regulations
hereafter enacted are such that are reasonably necessary to accomplish
these objectives.
No person shall park a bicycle upon a street, other than upon
the roadway against the curb or upon the sidewalk on a rack to support
the bicycle or against a building or at the curb, in such manner as
to afford the least obstruction to pedestrian traffic.
Whenever any person is riding a bicycle upon any sidewalk or
roadway, such person shall yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians
and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such
pedestrian.
No parent, guardian or any other person having legal care, custody or control of any child under the age of 16 shall allow or permit said child to use or ride any bicycle in violation of §§
70-2,
70-3, and
70-4, and such parent, guardian or person having legal care, custody or control shall be subject to the penalties described in §
70-6 of this chapter.
