Question Park right on the sidewalk?

OK I know for a fact, because I read the book, that parking on the sidewalk on a public street is illegal around here however I've noticed that when I go some places that bikers, particularly sport bikers park on the sidewalk usually right up by the entrance to a place. Sometimes its off in a bicycle parking area and sometimes, like tonight at my local mall, they were just right up there on the sidewalk. I've never done that myself. I always find motorcycle parking or just take a regular parking spot. Aside from the fact that I'm afraid I'd drop my bike negotiating the curb it just seems kind of pretentious to me.

Do you guys think its kosher, am I missing out on the ultimate parking spots?
