Robert, Does any cyclist actually do this: At a stop-sign, come to a complete halt before the white line, put a foot down, start again and slowly inch forward until you can see the traffic, then move on? You know, cars don't lose their balance when they stop.
Let's be practical: I ride slowly up to the point where I can see the traffic. If there is a car nearby I stop, make eye contact and proceed if the driver motions me to do so. If there is no traffic, I move on without stopping completely. Am I breaking the law?
