I really like the original post and very much agree. If I wouldn't do it in a car, why would I do it on a bike? Blowing a stop sign is just stupid (when there are others there). My driving tends to be pretty much by the book (in most cases). I like to stop (fully stop) at the white line where you are supposed to stop - things like that. Drivers that drift through an intersection and only stop if a car is coming (in the middle of the pedestrian crossing) really annoy me. All this is just to say that I bike like I drive - or I drive like I bike. At a 4 way stop - I come to a full stop and take my turn accordingly. When it is a red light, I stop. Simple stuff. I obey rules out there on my bike better than any of the other drivers I see. I agree that riders that scoff at rules are a huge problem and make it difficult for all cyclists. There is a lot of disdain towards cyclists that I see - but I sure hope I am not the one causing it.
