I don't see anything wrong with the article. There are cyclists who obey the law and those that don't. He didn't tell us anything new except I'd never heard of an Idaho stop before.

I thought it was an excellent article. He ignored some important issues (primarily to do with commercial bikers) but overall it's one of the better stories about biking that I've seen lately.

I too, thought it was an interesting article...and not in a bad way. As a cyclist that often uses the "Idaho-stop" (never knew it had an official name), I'd be all for it. Of course, I assess the traffic situation at every stop sign before making a decision on whether to roll through cautiously. I do the same with certain stop lights in my area, as well...as many of them are not triggered by a bicycle and I'd be sitting there forever, waiting for it to change.
