I have to stop at a stop sign, even when it is "inconvenient", and it is among the responsibilities of a cyclist as well.

There is no excuse for this fire chief (ex-fire chief), but let's not discuss cyclist's "rights" without discussing their responsibilities.
And you stop at all stop signs - like all cars making a right?
This includes golf carts.

Yeah, I'm ready for everyone to stop at stop signs.
