Dar, great piece, I always appreciate your kinder gentler approach - the reminders help keep me from getting myself killed being self-righteous and indignant. 

Stop signs seem to be a recurring theme in any discussion about cars vs. bikes.  It seems to me that allowing bicycles to treat stop signs as yields  (like some other states do) would go a long way towards reducing anti-bike attitudes.  Stop sign running isn't likely to end anytime soon no matter how much it's preached, so why not take away the excuse it gives drivers to be anti-bike?  Not to mention making biking more efficient and pleasant. 

I mentioned the idea on this list before and it was met with resounding silence.  So am I the only one who thinks bicyclists should push for a law like this in Wisconsin?  What's the downside?  Apart from the difficulty of getting such a law passed of course.  Anyone?  Hello?
