You'd have to check up on local law for that one. I'm sure there are some places that allow biking on the sidewalks, but I wouldn't want to give you a blanket "yes". The one exception is for children. Virtually all laws that prohibit riding on the sidewalk have an exception to allow children of a certain age and under to ride on the sidewalk.
