The fact is that, unless there's a designated bike path, a bike really belongs in neither place. I think that sidewalks are for pedestrians, but nothing pisses me off quite like a bicyclist acting like a car, e.g. getting in the left turn signal lane with heavy traffic. That is a time I believe the cyclist shout get in the crosswalk with pedestrians and walk their bike in the crosswalk obeying the walk/don't walk signals. That's what I did for the many years I biked to and from work.
