Your story was about someone who was not breaking the law who got killed by someone who was breaking the law, so how does this relate to cyclists going through stop signs? A cyclist won't kill anyone if they are the lawbreaker in that scenario.

But we seem to agree that it's safe to blow stop signs with no cross traffic... and I believe that is the intent of the Idaho stop - that cyclists don't have to stop when there is no cross traffic.
