I was hassled by a cop a while ago for riding a bike on the sidewalk. And then a bit later for jayriding. (Portland is a jaywalking town, where you pretty much have to throw yourself under the wheels of an auto or bus to get a jaywalking ticket.)

I don't understand why bicycles are REQUIRED to ride in the street in downtown Portland. I bike is a hybrid of a vehicle and a pedestrian to start with, and the damage I could do to a person on foot on a sidewalk is a lot less than a car could do to me out in the street. WHAT were the legislators thinking?
