The irony is that on multi use paths, more often than not, the cyclists treat pedestrians the way cars treat cyclists.

There is a blind spot in rock creek where despite stopping at a 4 way stop sign, I have numerous times almost struck cyclists who come flying out in front of my car then they flip me off for not seeing them.

This is why more and more people see that AI is a joke.
A rider approaching a stop sign may go straight through the intersection or make a turn without stopping; provided, that the rider:
(1) Is traveling at an appropriate speed to reasonably assess and avoid hazards;
(2) Determines there is no immediate hazard; and
(3) Yields the right-of-way to pedestrians and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.” DC Code § 50–2201.04d.(a)

A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fact sheet published in March 2023 states that stop-as-yield and red-as-stop laws "showed added safety benefits for bicyclists in States where they were evaluated, and may positively affect the environment, traffic, and transportation".[13] Acting Administrator Ann Carlson stated at a conference in October 2022 that "it increases [bicyclist] visibility to drivers and reduces their exposure. It also promotes safety in numbers by encouraging more people to bike which reduces cyclists overall risks.”[14]
A 2009 study showed a 14.5% decrease in bicyclist injuries after the passage of the original Idaho Stop law (though did not otherwise tie the decrease to the law).[15][16] A Delaware state-run study of the "Delaware Yield" law (allowing bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs) concluded that it reduced injuries at stop-sign controlled intersections by 23%.[17]
A study of rolling stops in Seattle determined that "results support the theoretical assertion that bicyclists are capable of making safe decisions regarding rolling stop",[18] while a 2013 survey of stop-as-yield in Colorado localities where it is legal reported no increase in crashes.[19] Another study done in Chicago showed that compliance with stop signs and stop lights by cyclists was low when cross-traffic was not present, but that most were still performing an Idaho Stop; and therefore "enforcing existing rules at these intersections would seem arbitrary and [capricious]".[20]
Until the density of bicyclists increase.

It’s legal for cyclists to run stop signs, so they’re not doing anything wrong. The question is why on earth is that be legal? It seems like recipe for collisions.
