I do not care if you want to ride around at 5mph but if you’re at a stop light, do not hop up the sidewalk just to claim pedestrian privileges by running through the intersection because when I hit you and kill you it’ll raise my insurance rates (because you also don’t have insurance). If you want to act like a car, take on the obligations of being one, otherwise stay off the roads.

Why though? There’s no law against it anywhere I’ve ever ridden, and so long as I do so safely and predictably, it’s not your problem.
Bro’s out here just doubling down on the envy lol.
Actually here the bike lanes sweep up onto a separate path at roundabouts, then back into a bike lane after the roundabout.
Its designed this way because being a cyclist on a roundabout is obscenely dangerous.
In this particular case youre not really stealing pedestrian privileges, the bike lane is designed that way.
In other cases, I just cant imagine someone hopping up onto the foot path just to skip a stop sign. It sounds absurd honestly.
