I commute in a rural about 4 miles. From my house to the job i go through 3 lighted intersections and about 6 stop signs, I rarely stop but am extremely cautious and always yield. I ride a fixie that is geared pretty high. A guy sped past me in a little car and yelled something about me not stopping at the stop sign.

A bout 2 miles after that I got a flat! Karma!!! Yuck!

I know going through stop signs with out stopping is illegal. I guess I'm just a bad apple.
