[SDCBC] Cyclists Use Pedestrian Crossing???

[Bicyclist]

I'd accept a "Bicyclists May Use Pedestrian Crossing" sign, but not 
this one. Even if no one has been cited, the message to everyone, 
IMO, is that bicyclists don't belong off of the ped crossing... ripe 
for harassment from some.

[Though it is apparently unclear under CVC whether it is legal to 
ride a bike in a crosswalk.]
