Thank you, I'm well aware. :) That map covers, what, about 0.001% of Austin roads? You can take it on faith that my conversations about people cycling on sidewalks don't have to do with those very few streets downtown. My point stands that cycling on Austin sidewalks is legal in 99.99% of cases and nobody has the right or reason to "get frustrated and hit them." As an aside: I find cycling downtown to be the easiest, because traffic speeds are much slower and there are a number of good bike lanes (some even physically protected). In addition, most drivers downtown actually expect pedestrians and therefore don't blindly turn with high speed at lights.
