Moped operators accessing a bicycle rack on a sidewalk or terrace, or otherwise parking their moped on a sidewalk or terrace can and should walk their vehicles on the sidewalk. - - Arthur
346.54(1)(e) For the purpose of parking, mopeds and electric personal assistive mobility devices shall be considered bicycles. Where possible without impeding the flow of pedestrian traffic, a bicycle, moped, or electric personal assistive mobility device may be parked on a sidewalk. A bicycle, moped, or electric personal assistive mobility device may be parked in a bike rack or other similar area designated for bicycle parking.

But to access a bike rack on a sidewalk, they would have to ride on the sidewalk. Maybe I am wrong here?? Of course, this would not apply at the bike corrals. At Charter and the Bike Path, a lot of moped students cut onto the path/sidewalk for a time to park at the apartments there. On more than one occasion it cause minor heart palpatations as a large motorized thing darted in front of my people powered vehicle.
