Stop signs and intersections

[Popoki_Nui]

I do the trackstand-stop too: I come to a stop, stay in my pedals, count to 10 as I check for other traffic, and if it's safe I go.

I was riding this morning and thought of this thread as I passed stopsigns every 0.1 miles. I was approaching one and slowed down to check for cars (as I usually do) and saw a police car coming towards the intersection. I want you to know that I did come to a stop (staying in the pedals, though) even though the cop was still not at the stopsign. I could just see Dianyla giving me a smile. I had to laugh.

I generally do the mini-trackstand. If there might be a car coming I put a foot down. I am always prepared to stop, I hate seeing cyclists run through a stop sign full-throttle.
