Crotch Fruit posted:Sorry, you are full of poo poo if you say it's not inconvenient to come to a stop on a bicycle. I ride an aluminum framed Trek, it's not a pro bike but it's better than a Wal-mart special and the aluminum frame makes it pretty light, but I still dislike coming to a stop. If I leave the bike in hi gear pedaling from a stop takes a lot more effort, if I shift to second gear it my derailer takes a while to switch gears. Both of those options require more effort than a driver moving their foot two inches to a brake pedal. My point is that if I am driving and I see a bicycle who is not acting stupid, I will try to brake for them because I like bikers and I don't want to force them to stop. I'm confused why bikers don't have to follow the same rules as cars if they're on the road. Stopping at stop signs and intersections for example.

Crotch Fruit posted:Running busy stop signs of busy red lights is pretty stupid and I don't support it. Neighborhood streets with a stop sign every other block and no traffic? Run that suit, hell I think most of the time neighborhood stop signs are only to prevent people doing 90mph in the compensation mobiles. Stop light with a vehicle detecor and no traffic? A bike pretty much has to run the light. I guess my experience where I live is that 80% of the time bikers DON'T follow the rules of the road. To the point where it makes me nervous to drive in certain areas knowing there's a large concentration, or could be, of them. I'm not out to kill anyone after all, regardless of fault.
