It really was just fifteen feet. He got on his bike, rode to the corner where he could enter the street, and that's where he got the ticket. EBR Scott–

In front of Breuggers the racks are RIGHT AT THE CURB - what your client did then is ride along the sidewalk parallel to the street (I'm guessing against traffic) to the corner? A different thing entirely. If I were there I might have laughed at his excuse too. Of course an argument can be made that riding on the sidewalk shouldn't be illegal, but we both know that if he had gone straight to the curb that wasn't even a whole bike length away - even if he were riding - he wouldn't have been ticketed.
