How do you feel about riding on the sidewalks?

I try to avoid doing it, but sometimes if I feel it's safer for a short distance I'll do it. But I'll drop onto my 34 and granny gear and move at speed of pedestrian or I'll just get off and walk until get back on the road.

Like @wphamilton I ride on the sidewalk sometimes to avoid the traffic jostling for position on a slip road to the bridge.
I also ride on the sidewalk for about 15 feet to and from the intersection and bike rack of my local grocer; it is about 30 feet to my bike shop.
Other than that I do not think it is safe or acceptable to make it a common practice for longer distance, especially across roads.
