The problem is that often times the safest thing to do on a bicycle is not
to come to a complete stop, but to slow down enough to check for traffic,
and come to a stop if necessary.
When you're at a stop on a bike, you're dead in the water and have no way
to get out of the way of anything. I hear that Idaho recognizes this and
allows bicyclists to come to a safe "rolling stop".
We don't recognize "rolling stops" as anything other than what they are,
which is not stopping.
It doesn't bother me unless it's my turn to go at a 4 way stop and I'm
halfway through the intersection and a 10 speed zips by my grill with the
driver doing a Brewer at me.
Thats when I tend to floor it.....
