    how bad is it to ride on the sidewalk?

    If there's no pedestrians there, who cares.

    Be aware though, drivers don't expect cyclist anyways but they especially don't expect any speed over maybe a jog, more probably a walk, on the sidewalks if they bother to check. You need to treat pretty much every intersection where you can't see the crossing well enough as a stop sign, even if the adjacent road would technically have the right of way. Pretty much the same for driveways, entrances to parking lots etc. etc.
