My stance is clear.
Ride your bicycle on the street. That is your right as a cyclist.
When you are on a bicycle, you are not exercising your rights as a pedestrian.
Are you saying you never ride your bicycle while using the crosswalk? If so, that's your prerogative. Definitely not mine. I'm interested to find out how many cyclists actually get off their bike and walk their bicycles across a crosswalk.
And no, I did NOT write about my rights as a pedestrian being violated. If you can dig that statement up, then please feel free to do so.
Telling me to ride my bicycle on the street is about as general of a statement as it can get. And therein lies the lack of comprehension, where you fail to understand the specific situation at hand and how it unveiled. Thank you for your input, but you really don't have much substance, or you are failing miserably at communicating anything of much value.
