I kinda feel like I need to qualify my remark about not minding that the cyclists ran the stop sign.
I think whether or not you stop at a stop sign really depends on the circumstances. If there is a cop sitting there, then of course. If you're riding in town or in a city and there's traffic, then stop and take your turn like a car. But where I ride it's very rural and there is very little traffic. There are no bike lanes, pretty much no shoulders, and it's one or two lane roads. At some intersections, you might see one car per hour. The stop sign these cyclists blew through is one that I pretty much never stop at myself. But I do look both ways and I yield to traffic, so I am still annoyed with them for almost blindly crashing into me!
I wish CA would pass a "yield to stop" law to give cyclists a little more flexibility. I am really good at yielding to stop![]()
