Just venting a little bit here, but I'm curious. Why do motorists think it's okay to pass a cyclist 50 feet before a stop sign, then stop, causing the cyclist to have to slam on the brakes to avoid colliding with the motorist's rear bumper? This happened to me twice this evening on my 10-mile commute. I am not a pedestrian! I follow the laws that apply to vehicles and I expect to be treated like one. I understand this is a lot to ask for, but twice in one short ride really gets to me.
