I often see a lot of people riding their bikes on the sidewalk on my way to work. As it turns out, it is LEGAL!!!!
Bicyclists are permitted to ride on sidewalks; however, it is an infraction to do so in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property (56.15.1 LAMC). If you ride your bicycle on the street, you must ride in the same direction as the flow of traffic and as close as practicable to the right side of the roadway (21202a CVC).

Now I don’t feel guilty when I occasionally have to ride on the sidewalk while riding on bike-unfriendly streets.
