Randya, has portland gone weird, or something? What is in the water out there! What the hell is an accelerated pedestrian? If I am hitting my brakes, am I a decelerated pedestrian? Cyclists travel on smooth wheels, so we could be called continuous pedestrians (in the calculus sense of the word); which makes walkers digital pedestrians, and runners (who leave the surface of the earth briefly) intermittent pedestrians.

Bicycles are not 'vehicles,' to me. That is used for motorized transport which includes safety devices, warning lights and signals, etc. If a bike is not a vehicle...what is it? IT is a ......drum roll please... a bike!
