I'm from SoCal, Pasadena, I ride all over, in traffic. Lots of stop signs. I will slow down and un-clip one foot. I will call out slowing and stop sign. I've see other riders pass me and blow thru the intersection while I touch my foot to the pavement. Sometimes drivers will wave me thru. Sometimes drivers will gun it when they see cyclists and roll thru a stop sign, I guess they think stopping at a stop sign where a cyclist is the other vehicle is degrading. I am very defensive when I ride.... cuz I don't want to die and I don't trust vehicles. Sometimes someone in our group goes to the middle of the intersection, stops and waves the group thru.

I hate to see cyclists speed thru and intersection when I'm in a car with other people, then I get told that all cyclists are un-safe. No I say, those are what I call organ donors.
