	I don't think it is a stupid law, and yes, I do ride bikes.
Like Andrew stated, if you change from street to sidewalk, you are 
behaving in an unpredictable, and more likely unsafe, fashion.  If you
want to go off-road, there are places to do that.  But of you can't figure
out if you want to be a vehicle or a pedestrian, then I hope you refrain 
from being either.

	I have, and as a driver, pedestrian, and a cyclist, I would
appreciate you deciding which "status" you consider yourself, and 
sticking with it.  We don't want any unexpected collusions, and you making
it easy for me to predict your actions while in motion makes it easier
on all of us.
