When my girlfiend was re-familiarising herself with how to ride a bike she wouldn't believe that I had no problems with getting off and walking through a junction if I considered it to be the safest/easiest thing to do.
I think she believed that I was being patronising, suggesting that we used the crossing, but I've never been adverse to hopping off the bike when it makes sense to do so.
it is, after all, one of the advantages of our chosen mode of transport
