Very good blog post on city bicycling

Via BikeForums, the police chief in Lincoln, Nebraska explains the rules of the road pertaining to bicycles.

It's worth noting that Lincoln isn't unusual here; the laws in almost all places in the US are pretty much identical to what he describes. Not all places ban riding on sidewalks, some places allow bicycles on certain limited access expressways, etc, but in almost all places in the US this is spot on, and is as good a description as I've seen.

Yeah, I've seen rumble strips that are formed right into the concrete, all the way across the shoulder. That makes it unrideable, which means bikes ride right in the lane (avoiding a hazard).
