Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk looks legal to me. By the way all bicycle laws apply to Segways to.

I bow to your knowledge and posting of the regulation. I will still maintain that it is unsafe for both pedestrian and bicyclist to be on the "sidewalk", not "sideride" and that since a multimodal lane is provided for such use should be used for bicycles. It will still tick me off, but will bite my tongue as I can't argue with a proven fact. Thank you.
And yet you seem to have missed this:"(5)(a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall ride in the lane marked for bicycle use". The implication is if there is a specific lane for bikes it should be used.
