pedestrians don't want you on the sidewalk
It is illegal to ride a bike on the sidewalk in every city I know of.
Pedestrians don't have lanes. Pedestrians don't have rules. They might turn suddenly to get into a car, or pop out of a shop. It is just selfish of bikers to think they should be on the sidewalk. It's very dangerous for us pedestrians. In the last 20 years, I've been hit twice on the sidewalk and had to jump out of the way, to avoid serious injury, many times.

For example, in Austin it's explicitly legal except in these locations [0].
