@DavidC:

"I'm taking the radical position that before we try to solve a problem, we should determine if there is one."

Gosh, if that doesn't sound like a tobacco lobbyist circa 1968....

However, you do bring up a good point. Sidewalk cycling is perceived as an entry way to cycling. Remove that option, or penalize it via heavy handed enforcement, and do you shut down the numbers of cyclists...

Another point in favor is what neighboring jurisdictions do.

However, on the balance I think M is winning this argument. Perhaps a more basic step that could be taken is a big red line on the Bikeshare maps saying (no sidewalk riding inside this line).

And at some point you have to change behavior. No easy way -- shaming cyclists who act like idiots. Would love to see a series of pictures on that...
