Bikers should push the legislature to adopt the "Idaho Stop" law. It allows bikers to safely treat stop signs as yield signs. It is a safety issue. When bikes are made to come to a full stop, it takes them much longer to get through an intersection because of inertia. This law does not allow a biker to blast through a stop sign at 20 mph, but to carefully roll through when there is no traffic to yield to.
I ride tens of thousands of miles and have never had an accident.
