    Where I live it’s illegal to ride bikes (or e-scooters) on the sidewalk. You are required to ride in the street and observe traffic laws like stop signs.

      Oh dear god please tell me that’s in an area with both respectful drivers and a sufficiently low 15-20 mph speed limit. All of my defensive driving experience is screaming DANGER.

      There is an area like that near where I live, and it is the only place where I feel it is safe to even consider mingling with car traffic. For that area, I do exactly as you posted.
