Well. I don't as rule ride on the sidewalk or go the wrong way on a one-way street and never on major streets. I try to avoid these as much as possible anyways. You need to think about what i said and didn't say. I never said anything about being irresponsible, jumping red lights, blowing through stop signs, not having a bell, proper reflection and lighting.

More to the point, I certainly don't ride on sidewalks where there are pedestrians. I was thinking more of cases where it isn't practical or safe to follow the letter of the law. I don't wish to become a white (i.e. ghost) bicycle on the side of the road to please you. The number one issue is safety, both mine and that of other people. Incidentally, self-preservation is what pushes me to carefully observe the rules of the road when driving ... I want to get where i'm going alive and in one piece.
