In Maryland, specifically in my county, it is whacko.
State-No
(my)County-Yes
(surrounding)City-No, city south of my city-Yes
So, In my locale, both you and the cretin would be right and wrong. Also, His saying that he needs to be on the sidewalk for lack of a bicycle lane. Could be purely emotional. Pursuant to his riding skill level and his willingness to ride on the road when there isn't a bicycle lane.
