I will try and do a track stand most of the time while waiting.T-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219036187623470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-7585224110935568812008-05-21T08:44:00.000-05:002008-05-21T08:44:00.000-05:00Just curious: Do you guys stop fully at all stop s...Just curious: Do you guys stop fully at <I>all</I> stop signs (i.e. do a track stand or put a foot down)?<BR/><BR/>I stop at red lights but usually just slow down for 4-way stops when no one else is there.<BR/><BR/>~ChrisChris G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11942792074009516237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-40706576636032986382008-05-18T22:31:00.000-05:002008-05-18T22:31:00.000-05:00I act just like a car when it comes to red lights....I act just like a car when it comes to red lights. If there's a row of cars ahead of me, I wait in line behind then. Even if I'm making a right hander and could easily squeeze by in the gutter, I'd rather show them I belong on the road by "being one of them." <BR/><BR/>I do have to admit, when I've been first in line at a red light, I also jump the gun a little in hopes to allow traffic to spread out. This has caught me though, as there's some slow lights, or lights that I didn't know had left turn lights in the opposite direction. So there I am, heading out into the intersection while the oncoming left hand turning people are supposed to be the only ones moving. I stop and make sure I give my best, "I messed up" looks so the drivers know that I know that they know I messed up.

I'm usually halfway when the light turns green. This gets me through the intersection quickly which I see as more dangerous, and back to a side boundary.dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715808669075015981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-88119316225691538132008-05-17T01:34:00.000-05:002008-05-17T01:34:00.000-05:00I rode today.

Once your speed picks up I think it's much better to be mixed in with the cagers.T-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219036187623470989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-90373073977715412412008-05-16T12:09:00.000-05:002008-05-16T12:09:00.000-05:00That and people riding on the sidewalk, are the tw...That and people riding on the sidewalk, are the two things I don't like to see other commuters doing.<BR/><BR/>Both are dangerous, and both do not promote appropriate relations between bike commuters and cagers.Biker Bob/Runner Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322922006756215840noreply@blogger.com
