What's up with this? He was an slightly middle age guy with rain gear and panniers so it seems he rides consistently When he hit the intersection he rode across the street in the crosswalk and continued down the sidewalk.

Blows me away that millions are spent on bike lanes and yet people still ride on the side walk. It seems that it screws up people driving more than just riding down the street as well.

Should I say something or just keep my trap shut?

Thanks for letting me b*tch.
tough call but as said in some areas the volume and speed of the cars makes it more dangerous to be in the street. Sucks when you are playing it legit though
