Since leading by example is better, and my riding partner is my 9 year old daughter, we stop at Every stop sign, unless they are in a parking lot and some times they are more dangerous to stop at than not. If I don't stop, I stop in a safe zone and explain why we didn't stop at it. This may not mean she will always stop, but at least I tried :)

I voted that it depends on the situation, like if I can see know one else is around, or if I am in a hurry, like to watch the Leafs lose another game:o then i would do it.

[/B][/quote] as far as i know that is not quite true... OK, i guess i learned in Texas, so maybe it's different in your state.

but as far as i know, the rule at a 4-way is whoever arrives first goes first, but with a simultaneous stop the car on the right has right of way - i guess if you have 4 cars all stop at the same time, someone has to wave the others on... i think it's actually a law (but this may vary by state) [/B][/QUOTE]

...If all 4 come to a stop, then wouldnt everyone be on the right? And dont tell me the regulation would be people waving others to go ahead...

The usual game for cars at 4-ways around my place is they all sort of fake each other out, like a poker game. As for me, I wait my turn.

Some folks don't even stop at all.

This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friend
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it
Forever just because
This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friend...

the 4-way shuffle.

Swekarl,
Could you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I ride my bike like I drive my car. If the situation calls for a rolling stop in the car, the same on the bike. (Many times stop signs are used to slow traffic in sub-divisions, people don't run them at full 25 mph, but slow to 5-10 and only stop if Police or someone else is around.) However, on my bike, if I see anyone else, pedestrians, autos, other bikers, I will take my foot out of the clip so they can see my intention of stopping. My husband rides a Harley and when the group stops at a stop sign, they stop as a group and take off as a group. My bicycle club does the same when there are around 10-20 people in the group. If the group is larger, or the intersection is busy, the cyclists will stop/go in small clumps. This is actually more confusing for the motorists. I think.
