Bicyclists on the sidewalk

(Wow, it's been a while since I posted -- I have been very restrained...)

It's bad enough that I have to share the sidewalk with skateboarders and roller bladers, both of whom, to a person, will not be courteous to pedestrians (sorry -- I haven't seen one well-mannered wheeler yet), but could bicyclists please, please ride in the road? The word walk is there for a reason -- the sidewalk is for walking.

Most city/town laws state that if you've got a bicycle on the sidewalk, you should be walking alongside it. Seen that lately?

Now in Burbank we have bicycle lanes as big as an airplane runway -- I have yet to see a bicyclist use them!!
