Maybe the bicycle clubs do but most of the individual riders do not know what a STOP sign is or a hand signal.
One day the cart in front of me went to pass a bicyclist that was riding in the cart part and the bicycle decided to turn left and the guy in the cart did some real tricks trying to avoid the bicyclist who made the turn - oblivious to the cart drivers maneuvers to avoid him. If that would have been a car there could have been a real mess.
Like GG I have also seen bicyclists weave and bob their way around a circle - managing to avoid being run over only because of the car drivers attention to the idiots.
BTW: how can I give you three feet on the multinodal paths? They are not that wide.
