And again, it's a rule that seriously discourages bike use. I want to use the bike path, as it's much safer then riding in traffic (and that's what it's there for), but the idea is totally useless If I have to stop, get of my bike, walk across, get back on my bike, every single block when I come to an intersection. I'd just about get there faster walking.
Surely the law isn't intended to have that outcome.

Are you talking about riding on the sidewalk downtown as well? Because if so, that is illegal as well...
I am a biker, but I prefer to do it in the mountains since I am scared to drive a car on the streets in this city sometimes. I would rather get my thrills biking from ripping mach chicken down a hill, not avoiding traffic.
