Bicycle Regulations (see Section 316.2065, F.S.)
A bicyclist must obey all traffic controls and signals.

So the drivers who were upset that your group members each stopped at the sign are the ones ignorant of the law. Should you have blown by the stop signs and were ticketed, nothing would have happened to them.

Then there's this (also from the FBA):

That said, please see: Idaho Rolling Stop Law
A common practice of cyclists (and motorists) is to slow and insure there is no conflict, yield as appropriate, and roll through the stop sign. Some may consider that appropriate for stop signs, but it would be hard to make that case for red lights.
Although some might consider it a safe practice, Florida law does not permit that for cyclists or motorists.

Enjoy your rides but be careful.

Yep, that's what the "law" says----BUT when you are in a big pack the law really doesn't make common sense and should be changed----do we live in a great country or what?
