I agree. That being said bikes ARE both "vehicles" and "pedestrians" and that's something you have to know as a driver. The thing is, you CAN'T behave like a vehicle on the side walk and you can't behave like a pedestrian on the street. That means no blowing through the crosswalk obviously. In most part of Europe (yay I'm generalizing again), there's no "turn on red" and there's no grid system, thus this is less of an issue
