Where the heck did that come from? But I totally agree. Ride on the freakin' sidewalk if there's traffic, people like me that drive cars (like normal Americans) don't like having to focus so much on some jackhole wearing a yellow spandex suit and "them lil' ol' shorty-shorts." I have to make sure you Lance-Armstrong never-gonna-be's don't get crushed under the weight of my Cherokee if you fall, so I have to slow down, and drive close to the OTHER LANE.
The Critical Mass hippies are another story. The spandex bike queens annoy me, but those folks make me homicidal. Blocking faster car traffic because you want to make a statement is both dangerous to you and other road users, and it's so rude it's indescribable.
At least scooter drivers burn hydrocarbons like normal folk.

I'm pretty sure that riding a bike on the sidewalk is illegal. Bikes are supposed to be on the road with traffic.
