another thread that seems to have eternal life.

But we see a lot of posts from cyclists stating that they have the right to be on the road--and they do. But along with that right comes the responsibility to obey traffic laws. Stop means STOP. It may be inconvenient to stop with toe clips, but the red octagonal sign does not have that in fine print. Here's some news---it may be "inconvenient" for a car to stop as well, but they have to, it's the law. So are hand signals for cyclists on the road.
