[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You haven't produced any evidence that bicyclists in DC don't follow the rules - or don't follow the rules more than drivers don't follow the rules.[/quote]
Cyclists in DC that stop at stop signs are in a small minority. I think that’s a fair assessment. [/quote]

Drivers in DC that stop at stop signs are in a small minority. I think that's a fair assessment.[/quote]

^^^Seriously, I think that people are conditioned to see a driver rolling through a stop sign and think "that driver stopped at the stop sign" and see a bicyclist rolling through a stop sign and think "that bicyclist blew the stop sign".

If you're annoyed by bicyclists in front of you slowing you down when you're driving, you really really don't want bicyclists in front of you coming to a full and complete stop when you're driving.[/quote]

I dont think anyone is worried about rolling stops, for either drivers or bicyclists.  What people are concerned about are bicyclists (and drivers although for drivers it's universay thought of as bad) completely blowing through stop signs which is quite common.[/quote]

DP. I rarely see bikes blow through lights and stop signs without looking. I often see cars making very fast turns without looking for pedestrians or bikes in the crosswalk. [/quote]
