Stops signs are part of my work out. I will stop at a stop sign and hold/balance on bike without putting my feet/foot on the grund and then continue. There are 4 stop signs on my route and I stop and hold at each sign. Stop lights I always stop at and wait for green. If I have to ride on the side walk, only when unsafe on the street, the walkers always have the right of way, and if I have to I will get off of my bike and walk.
