You may now be able to bike on the sidewalk

West Hollywood is preparing to allow cyclists to ride on the sidewalk.

The city will allow bike riding along streets without marked bicycle lanes.

Bicycles have long been considered as a motorized vehicle that must be ridden on the street.

However, with high gas prices and people complaining of traffic congestion and narrow roadways the city will accommodate the request.

Anyone bicycling too fast or recklessly will be fined.

The ratification vote is scheduled for today.
