Well, it is depending on where that sidewalk happens to be.

b)
Whenever any person is riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk, such person shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian, and when overtaking or passing a pedestrian, after giving an audible signal, shall at all times, pass to the left of such pedestrian.
That being said, it would have been nice if the OP had included that link.
Personally, I don't really see what the fuss is about- some people just lack the confidence to ride on the street. Quite frankly, I'd rather someone illegally ride the sidewalk than be a salmon rider any day.
