I am always in an #IdahoStop state of mind.

After slow-rolling the first stop sign, we continue on until we reach our next decision point: another four-way stop, but this one's in a construction zone, next to a brand new apartment building, covered in security cameras.

We are NOT in an #IdahoStop state.

Are we willing to roll this #StopSign too, with witnesses and video?

Congratulations to the state of New Mexico on passing SB 73, β€œRequire Bicycle Stops for Safety” (aka stop as yield aka Idaho stop). https://www.fox26medford.com/news/state/new-mexico-to-allow-cyclists-to-roll-through-stop-signs/article_44951e1d-6e47-5b07-9795-292b1fdbc885.html We look forward to California adopting such legislation; see status of progress in CA: https://bikemonterey.org/bicycle-safety-stop-for-california.html
