Unfortunately, no. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Mixing in bikes makes them unsafe for foot traffic. It's also dangerous for a cyclist to ride across an intersection in a crosswalk because drivers turning through it may not be able to see them before they're able to stop. Furthermore, sidewalks are irregular and not conducive to biking.
