You can walk facing whatever direction you like, but you are supposed to ride your bicycle with the flow of traffic, and the cars are supposed to share the road with you, like your bicycle is another car, another vehicle. Bicyclists have a legal right to the road.
What a MAGA crowd here. Don’t follow the law but use “common” sense. Nobody want to get rid of police, they want them to do a better job and be trained better. Hard job but they get paid crap so you get what you pay for.
I was always taught to ride/walk facing traffic and made it so far as 57 plus years old .
Now you get hassled for using common sense ?
Sadly, we live in a country that has degraded moral values so badly that criminals have more rights then law abiding citizens. To top it off, there is a segment of our population that wants to rid is of law enforcement and wants to minimize crimes to the point that there are no consequences for your actions. Hit and run homicides usually only generate a minimum prison sentence. It’s disgusting.
Florida should pass a law
Mandatory life sentence if you don’t turn yourself in within 12 hours. Classify it as 2nd degree murder
