The "driving" reference refers what you also have to do when riding (rather than walking) your bike.
Well, you'll have to take it up with the legislature. I didn't write the law. The law says "pedestrians" and also defines "pedestrians". You argue a ridden bicycle is a pedestrian. I see no support for your position in the law, but then I didn't look for any case law on it so you might be right, but I would have to see the specific court decisions.
