It doesn't make any sense to require pedestrians to stop and allow bicyclists to blast through. There is no reasonable reading of the law that would where that would make sense.

A person who walks a bike is considered a pedestrian in all jurisdictions....Of the 22 states that explicitly permit bicycling on sidewalks, 12 specify that sidewalk cyclists have the rights and duties of pedestrians.
That is, in the other 10 states, it's assumed.
