If bicycles are treated as vehicles, that means you CANNOT ride on the sidewalk, and the cyclist must stop at all stop signs, lights, etc., and ride with traffic. If your locality treats a cyclist as a pedestrian, that means they cannot ride in the streets, and must obey all pedestrian rules - especially as they might apply to jaywalking!
