Phoenix biker friendly

Sharing roads even with cars is pure combat. Some cities have really embraced the canal routes as bike-specific routes. Scottsdale has a 20 mile greenbelt with a sidewalk for bikes - no cars. The best situation is to keep both separated. It's a bad mix. Originally Posted by vegaspilgrim.

Most of Phoenix, being surburban with large through-way streets taking up six lanes or more, are not very bike or pedestrain friendly. Nonetheless, the streets in downtown and the older neighborhoods are small and conductive to these activities and the natural design of downtown encourages slower moving traffic.

I have noticed that once people get off the freeway, and leave the major streets, the traffic slows down considerable and most drivers seem to develop a different style of driving.

Riding on the sidewalks in the city of Phoenix itself is considered to be acceptable if there is no bike lane on the road and the right lane is to narrow for both a bike and a motor vehicle to comfortably share the lane side by side.

The majority of the major roads fit this description. Don't worry about the police writting you a ticket as they themselves are actually encouraging it. I have even had a DPS officer tell me to get on the sidewalk when he saw me riding on the I frontage road at night without a light. In the daytime DPS never bothered me though. In other cities around Phoenix, the police may or may not write a ticket if they catch you on the side walk.

Most of the bike lanes around the valley are wide and safe although all of the older ones in Mesa are narrow and very dangerous to use. I just started riding to work last week and have been using the bike lanes.
