Bicyclists are not pedestrians

The high rate of pedestrian deaths in Hawaii is being targeted by the Honolulu Police Department, and rightly so as many fail to obey our crosswalk law. Bicyclists have to obey the law as well. Please remember to use a bell or horn to warn walkers you are behind them. It is illegal to ride on the sidewalks. Common courtesy requires a least a warning to the pedestrian who cannot hear the approach of a bicycle. Courtesy will do a lot to change public perceptions of bicyclists. M
