In a message from Steve Spindler about critical mass in Minneapolis, it was stated;
>From there, he said, he would like to make stop signs the equivalent of yield signs for bicyclists. =B3This is how bikes treat them. It=B9s realistic,=B2 he said. =B3If a biker rolls through a stop sign, as if it was a yield sign, and there is a problem, the damage happens to the biker, not to his victims.=B2 I have been thinking along these lines for a couple of years now and was wondering if anyone else is. Now that biking is becoming a legitimate means of transportation and folks are realizing the myriad benefits of substituting bike trips for car trips, we should begin to push for special provisions like a stop sign acts as a yield for cyclists. Possibly red lights too. And how about moving up the right side of a line of cars waiting at a red light. I like to set a good example but I refuse to subject myself to unneccesary car fumes.
