Bikes are allowed to be ridden on sidewalks where I live according to traffic laws, as are electric scooters. It's the electric scooters that cause 10x more problems. We have literally 0 bike lanes so it's either sidewalk or super busy road.

EDIT: I'm in the wrong here. I deleted this part of the post, but am leaving this up for you to shame me for my assholery.
Oh god you just saved me so much headache..I didn't even think about auto-pause. There were times I paused and forgot to restart, and stuff like that.
Already looking for new tires and I feel the dopamine.
I put the bike together myself out of the box, so that's certainly possible.
Saddle seems to be the right height according to the basic fit test I've seen (pedaling with heel should have almost full knee lockout. Could be my handlebar reach is too long, especially considering I had my handlebar sweep upside down until a kind person here pointed that out to me :D
So the shocks don't really keep anything from breaking, they're purely for comfort.
So we call them half-slicks here apparently. I decided to go with a pair of those. My performance night suffer a bit, but I prefer peace of mind to pure performance. As soon as I get paid, I plan on ordering a pair of them!
Thank you for the advice!
Spending money on gear is a good coping mechanism? I agree! My fiancee hates it though:D
I actually don't commute at all, I just ride for fun, so going faster isn't really a necessity, it's just that I'd like to cover more distance in less time in order to save time on long rides.
I believe I've done this once before trying to go over a curb - not fun.
Looked up the laws, yes, you are correct. I'm going to delete that part of my post because I am a bit of an asshole for posting it, but I'll leave this comment chain so that I can be ashamed.
