Thanks John,

Since neither you or I could find a specific law, I doubt there is
one. The rub on the vehicle reasoning is in areas where bicycles are
allowed to ride on the sidewalk. At least to me, it makes little sense
that a cyclist can ride on the sidewalk, but must walk through the
crosswalk.

I guess I will ask the City why HPD is saying these things and ask them
for a legal reference.
