I don't roll through stop signs in my car. I don't roll through stop signs in my cart.

I do roll...very slowly...through stops sign on my bike. I'm one of those that has toe clips and does not want to pull them out unless necessary. I do it with the utmost caution and will stop every time the situation warrants. (Even without toe clips, it's much easier for a car or cart to stop/start than it is for a bike rider.)

Where do these overall stop sign habits fit in this discussion?

If I had to sum things up I would say:

"There are a bunch of us who ride bikes on the street. If you hit us with your car we may die. Give us a wide berth. In other words, share the road."
