Nobody claimed that rolling through stop signs is legal in FL, although it is legal in some states such as Idaho. Many cars roll through stop signs also. In fact, I would say many more cars roll through stop signs, when it is clear, than come to a complete stop in my Village. It is what it is. I am just informing you of why. Move on.

However, I don't care if your feet are bolted to the pedal you have no legal right to blow through stop signs and red lights. Maybe it's not convenient to unclip, than find a different solution.
I ride a motorcycle. It's not convenient to stop and place my feet on the pavement at stop signs either. Sand causes foot to slip, bike is heavy, etc. I am still breaking the law if I don't stop. And so are bicycle riders if they don't stop. And many many more don't stop than do stop.
