Ok.

Thanks for your opinions.

I've been sidewalk riding here for 10 years. Often right past Police.
So they obviously don't enforce that law here. When I get a ticket I'll advise.
And I'll gladly take it and continue on the sidewalk as there is no way in a year of Sundays I'd ride on the street with today's drivers.
I think we also have a vastly different view of sidewalks. Usually there are very few pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Maybe the sidewalks where you commute have much heavier pedestrian traffic?

Hey, have a look at this.... it's about malicious things motorists do to bicyclists for fun...I take it you've heard of the "Door-Prize" move?
