I’ve been watching for a bicyclist to stop at a stop sign for several years, and I have not seen a single one stop.

Or use simple hand signals to turn and stop - something I was taught in gradeschool.

But they'll be along shortly to offer up their collective excuses - "It's so hard to stop and start up again on a bicycle...".

Yeah, dufus, that's why the rest of us drive these things called automobiles. Welcome to the 21st century.

Sorry, but I must reply - EVERY GROUP has IDIOTS! I do ride my bicycle everywhere I can and the money that I save is part of what I donate as a MONTHLY FR Donor. I signal and stop like you say I should.

I have been rear-ended by idiots on cell phones and just plain blind. I have had vehicles swerve into me because they could get away with it. I have had coke and beer cans thrown at me. I have had 3 helmets cracked because I would rather take the fall than swerve into traffic.

I do not approve or participate in any of those IDIOT bicycle protests, I share the road and am ever cognizant that even the lightest car outweighs me by a ton. Remember that every gallon of gas that I don’t use is there for you to use and that does count. I do SHARE the road, don’t let your feelings change our shared values, PLEASE.
