I try to find those kinds of spaces, and sidewalks, very often. But only if the bike won't be a problem for someone. With the bags on, it takes up quite a bit of room. And this was a government agency, so I feared excessive law enforcement. The only sidewalk spot would be close to, if not on, a handicapped access area.
Of all the bikes I've owned in decades, this is the only one to get hit in a parking space, and the only one that could handle it fine. All the others have been plastic-covered. It's also the one that should have been most visible.
