To be fair, I did not realize the laws around this were so obtuse and vary so much, and I appreciate the source.

Your own source mentions that the laws vary from city to city within the states, so I think it is still much more widely enforced than you are led to believe. I live in one of the states where it says it is completely legal in your source, yet I know that my city cops write tickets for riding on the sidewalk here.

Fair enough. Everywhere I've lived I ride my bike everywhere and most places I've visited in the country I would rent a bike and never had any problems, so I was very surprised to see people claim the complete opposite of my personal experiences. But it's a massive country and I can see how other people could have different anecdotal experiences than my own.
