the bicycle at one time, unless a seat is provided for a second person.
No person shall leave a bicycle at such a place or in such a way as
to create a hazard to pedestrians, automobile operators or to anyone else.
Bicycles shall be parked either upon the roadway against the curb, in bicycle
racks or, if on the sidewalk, in such a manner as to afford the least obstruction
to pedestrian traffic and not in such a manner as to obstruct the ingress
and egress to buildings used by the public. If there is no bicycle rack or
other facility intended to be used for the parking of bicycles in the vicinity,
the operator may park a bicycle on the sidewalk in an upright position parallel
to and within 24 inches of the curb.
The provisions of Chs. 346 and 347, Wis. Stats., and applicable Village
ordinances shall govern the operation of bicycles where appropriate.

that materially impairs the ability of such operator to hear traffic signals
or warnings.
