Commuters on the sidewalk.

I see guys with helmets and full commuting gear on the goddamn sidewalk. It pisses me off for several reasons.

1. Other motorists will be encouraged to think that bikes shouldn't be on the road. "Why aren't you on the sidewalk like that guy?"

2. Why would you have so much gear and put the time into a bike, but not ever ride in the road?

3. Its illegal and dangerous for everybody.

4. They look like little pricks.

So what attitude should I have?
I guess I should pull over and encourage them to try the road, but I don't have the time. Usually I just feel disgust and want to ignore their presence.

Does that make me a jerk? Yes it does.
