I'm not sure you can be in the wrong if you're on the sidewalk and a cyclist hits you. But that means when you see one riding on the sidewalk, assume they're incompetent. Sorry you got hit hard. Hope you're ok.

PA state law says that bikes on sidewalks must yield to pedestrians and are required to audibly signal if they are passing, so yeah, the bike guy is 100% in the wrong.

Where can you find this written down? I did not know a bike bell was required

And uhh.. unclear about bike bell. Audible signal can just be your voice?

Doesn't have to be a bell. Just needs to be audible.
