Rodney,
I would suggest that you assume the bike is coming into traffic. You may not think it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk, but riding a bike 20-25 mph is most certainly NOT safe on a sidewalk. If the person is cruising along at 5mph, then fine, but you cannot safely navigate concrete seams and ramps and pedestrians going better than 10 or 12mph.
