1interceptor: Gotta flame you for something on that first video; Don't yell "Walk, walk, walk!". So much funnier/ more effective to calmly say " Just continue on Maam! Ive got it!" actually works better.
Other then that me and you would do just fine riding together in the city
EDIT: Also I would say that you have every right to ride the sidewalk if you are not endangering people. Sorry but I say common sense is a fine way to approach things. I am sorry but uintil pedestrians dont jay walk even when the street is empty then as long as the sidewalk is essentially empty then do what you will, cars split lanes while they ride, they forget blinkers, cyclists split lanes and forget hand signals. Everyone needs lee-way, we are humans, we make mistakes, we are impatient at times. Rules are there for boundaries but life isn't a road with barriers it is a trail with grass, roots and sometimes trees, learn how to navigate it and try not to derail another's path.
