BG- Thank you for admitting you made a mistake, take the flaming and preach about the goodness of helmets.

On my commute there is one four way stop sign. Usually I unclip because other cars are coming. Sometimes I do a very modest track stand, sometimes I slow and if the car in the lane with me is the only one at the intersection I roll through slowly with them. The cars all doing rolling stops at this intersection, so I don't always unclip I just read the situation.

Usually it is a stop (90%) because I want to set the best example, cyclists are really fighting for respect in our town and I know I am an ambassador whether I want the duty or not.

The road home has 3 stop lights at 3 way intersections, I would not be crossing traffic if I just continued on in the shoulder but I always stop at the lights. Other cyclists blow on by and it frustrates me, I understand it is safe but it isn't legal! It erasing all good I am trying to accomplish. Sorry off the soapbox.
