A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, motorized skateboard or scooter, motor-driven cycle, or an electric power-assisted bicycle on a sidewalk, shared-use path, or across a roadway on a crosswalk, shall have all the rights and duties of a pedestrian under the same circumstances.
In that post, I never mentioned one word about anything except the fact that in many states, a person riding a bicycle in a crosswalk is legally a pedestrian.
So, what orifice did you pull your straw man argument "you'll ride right into that street / cross-walk with the belief that that motorist is going to submit the right-of-way to you" out of, anyway?
and if you're not, go stick it.
Well, I guess that clears up which orifice you pulled your straw man out of.
My response to your pejorative imperative? Grow a brain.
