Let me make it clear that this occured at a four way intersection with lights for both cars and pedestrians (I had the crossing light at the time), not some crosswalk in the middle of the road with blinking lights and such. I don't know what kinds of systems you guys have in the States.
You'll find that most of us ride on the road and we cross intersections with the rest of the traffic. I think in most states here in the U.S., if you are acting like a pedestrian by riding on the sidewalk and using the crosswalks, you are required to dismount and walk your bike across, like a pedestrian. Were you mounted on your bike when you kicked the guy's headlight?
