Michigan bicycle laws:

Specifically, riding 2 abreast is legal in Michigan (and many other states) but riding MORE than 2 abreast is not.

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.
