One Reason Cyclists Are Disliked

ah, the old stop sign debate...

but back to the original post, yes, the dangerous blatant disregard that happens scares me and helps me appreciate driver hostility... and, frankly, is one reason I often don't dress like a racer. (I figure the resistance of my sweats vs. tights gets me in better condition...) Our paceliners are reasonably compliant, too, I'm happy to say - it does help that we have many miles of truly open road.

I obey the spirit of the law... and when in doubt, I obey the law. Stopping at a four-way stop in the middle of the prairie when I can see for two miles in all directions means I've surrendered my thought processes to the signage. I'm much more cautious at the totally unmarked intersections, when the corn's up...
