Lots of places have manuals for bicyclists. But
state, county, and city laws are often quite
different. For example, within a city limits, the
rules for stopping at stop signs may be quite
different from the State rules for other roads.
Finding those rules may be somewhat difficult and
most people that don't ride a bicycle don't have a
clue about the city rules or even know of such a
thing. As a consequence there are always people
incorrectly stating what bicyclists can and can
not do. Heck most people don't even know or
adhere to the pedestrian rules!
