Obviously they have no respect for stop signs. STOP signs say STOP, I don't care if they have to stretch out into a long group. STOP means STOP.

Rules are rules. Everyone should follow them. Even the bike riders.
I'm shocked to hear of a case of bicycle riders IN the bike lanes! What I see most often is bicyclists using the car lanes when they could/should be using the unmatched miles of bike/cart lanes.

Some seem to have a death wish, especially in the car lanes on the Morse Bridge between LSL and 466......s-l-o-w-l-y peddlin' along on a recumbent bike that is very hard to see amidst car traffic! I dread the thought of hitting one of them.
