You really do have goofy laws about the sidewalks. So you have to ride a bike in the streets? Lame! But helmet laws are the normal thing I believe if you are under 16 or something. I would normally wear a helmet if I was on a street riding a bike, but not in the neighborhoods.
You did the right thing by going straight to the police though.

I've got about 5k + a lot of labor in my FC NA. Lol. I never thought I would or even could. And it doesn't stop. It's taking over my disposable income . .
I am guessing banzai's peri-port project is about 15k into it. if he bought the whole peri-port motor from pineapple those are some serious $$$$$. but i could be wrong, and probably am wrong.

Think about it, those laws are in place to prevent **** like what just happened to the poor kid
Up here people on bikes are basically in the same class as motor vehicles. Some roads have a small "bike lane", but otherwise they ride on the road like normal traffic and they have to use hand signals for when they turn, etc.
Basically they say when you are looking for traffic (cars), you tend not to notice cyclists as much, especially if you can't predict what they are going to do (back when there was no sidewalk law - people could ride on the road or sidewalk). So ride on the road, you will see them along with the cars, less accidents since they are following the same rules that motor vehicles are.
