re: #52 Jocko’s Rocket Ship

But I do agree with the Idaho law. Stop signs are yields and red lights are stop signs. If I had to stop at every stop sign, I’d quit biking. Plus, it would push bikers off side streets and onto more dangerous busy thoroughfares where they muck up traffic if there isn’t a bike lane.

The real danger in this idea? The idiot cagers (my motorcycling past is showing through & WE’RE more visible than you!) will see them doing this, find out the “justification” and start doing it too. How many dead will be needed before it’s seen as the bad idea that it is?

Yeah, coming to a full stop is a pain. But I’d rather suffer that than kiss a grill at even 20 mph. I like my legs and my head intact.
