Excuse me, please do not insult AI.
You are referring to the old fashioned way of searching on Google.
Indeed, when I Googled “is it geneiva to park a bike on a public sidewalk” all of the results were about Switzerland.
However, when I posed the same question to AI (ChatGPT), this was the beautiful response:
“Parking a bike on a public sidewalk is generally not considered **geneiva** (theft), as public sidewalks are meant for public use. However, it could be an issue of **gezel harabim** (stealing from the public) if parking the bike obstructs pedestrian traffic or violates local laws.
Halachically, causing inconvenience or damage to the public can be problematic, even if no direct theft is involved. Therefore, it’s best to ensure the bike is parked in a way that doesn’t block the sidewalk or violate regulations.”
