No, I think it's because it's OK to ride the wrong way on a one way street if you are riding on the sidewalk.........

They just put up a truckload of signs about no parking in my area, so don't say they can't afford it.

I know where you can get the confiscated spray paint for the lanes

One of my biggest pet peeve is cyclists using the sidewalk, I've come close to being clipped a few times (yesterday being the most recent). They give the rest of us a doubly hard time in getting respect from drivers and the community.
When I ride (on the road), I make sure I purposefully sneer and shake my head disapprovingly at those I see on the sidewalk (especially so if they are wearing a helmet).
