Without doing something illegal, I don't see how the cyclist you are annoyed with can exercise his rights, and yet be a good will ambassador (with good will ambassador defined as someone who does not bother motorists)
The website you cited says: "Sidewalk Riding (see Section 316.2065, F.S.) When riding on sidewalks or in crosswalks, a bicyclist has the same rights and duties as a pedestrian. A bicyclist riding on sidewalks or in crosswalks must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and must give an audible signal before passing."

Doesn't say anything at all about sidewalk riding being illegal. Same as in Texas.
