Full Breakdown
Midwest City Code § 24-287 requires bicyclists on a roadway to ride as near the right-hand side as practicable and bars riding more than two abreast except on paths or roadway sections set aside exclusively for bicycles. Where the city has built a separate bicycle path next to a roadway, riders must use that path instead of the roadway. Under § 24-282, violating any bicycle-article requirement is an offense, and a parent or guardian who knowingly lets a child break the rule is liable too. The requirement applies wherever a bicycle operates on a city street or public bike path, per § 24-283.
Violations & Fines
Violating any bicycle-article rule, including the roadway/path-use and two-abreast requirements, is an offense under § 24-282; a parent or guardian who knowingly permits a child's violation is also liable.
