We have only the word of the cyclist (the accused offender) that the driver didn't stop before crossing the sidewalk and that he crossed "in a hurry", whatever that means.
It means the driver was using the extra 17 feet of "entrance" after the sidewalk to accelerate onto a very narrow / no bike lane . street. I think of myself as a combat veteran on a bike and I would have been on the sidewalk, but for the fact I'd never have stepped one foot in Denver County. I do appreciate those of you with psychic abilities filling in all the details for us, I'm sure it's exhausting work.

when crosswalks are used as launching pads to enter traffic the driver sees nothing but where they're going.
