Seriously. Don't ride your bike on the sidewalk. Here's a simple rule for you when trying to decide whether you belong on the street or on the sidewalk:

Are you on some sort of vehicle that has wheels? Get on the road.
Are you walking, running, jogging, or otherwise keeping your feet in direct contact with the ground? The sidewalk will be just fine.

Just so we're clear on exactly how the decision making process works in this scenario, I have put together a concise flowchart for you:

Additionally, when you are riding your bike on the sidewalk, and I'm blocking the sidewalk with my car trying to pull out to the street, don't yell at me and tell me that I'm blocking the sidewalk. I know I'm blocking the sidewalk.

Furthermore, when I yell after you in the spirit of public service to tell you that "bikes belong on the street," don't turn your bike back around, all indignant-like, to ask me repeatedly "what did you say? WHAT did you say?!"
