Other: As a biker who rides a bike on sidewalks/paths, I hate it when I come to a traffic intersection and a car is blocking the walkway. (Has happened to me today during my bike ride a few times and has happened many times in the past... It's just annoying when drivers stop in-front of their line.)
Unless you're riding a motorcycle on the sidewalk, you're a cyclist, not a biker. But it's illegal for you to be riding on the sidewalk either way (in most jurisdictions). Cyclists who think they don't have to obey traffic laws are the scum of the Earth.
Cyclist. And when was it ever illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk? No police officers have ever bothered me whenever I'm bike riding in town.

i bet you ride your bike across the intersection
Yes. Biking is my way of traveling alone since I'm scared of ever driving a car (even though I'm 26, but I'm gonna stay overly cautious).
But I do "facepalm" or cringe at walkers or cyclists who don't use traffic buttons to cross intersections (I use them and wait about 95% of the time unless if they are not working but if they are not working, I know when to cross when it should turn on). Half of the pedestrians I see don't use those and I just cringe when I witness it. There were a few times when I decided to rush through intersections and that's only during heavy rain (but I also take an umbrella with me).
you are supposed to walk the bike across the ibtersection ---
