To put it as simply as possible, no, but also yes. The state of Arizona does not have a law against bicyclists riding their bikes on sidewalks with other pedestrians. However, the state does allow each city to determine their specific bike laws. It could be legal in the state, but still illegal in the city you are riding in. This being said, it is important to know the laws before biking in a new area.
