Big surprise of the day! /s

I think anyone who advocates for cycling and pedestrian safety have been saying this for decades.

This is also why it’s incredibly frustrating to have things like permitting Idaho Stops being pushed back so aggressively.

It keeps cyclists safe, but motorists argue that “everyone should be following the same laws”… except that 99% of motorists are ALREADY doing Idaho Stops, despite it being illegal for them to do so!

And pedestrians who don’t like cyclists on sidewalks. Yes, we get it! No cyclist wants to be on a bumpy, slow, narrow sidewalk. But it’s safer than on a road without cycling infrastructure! If you don’t like it, support bike lanes!

Are you calling “rolling stops” “Idaho stops”? I have never heard that and have lived on both coasts including WA. Interesting
I’ve heard the term, but a better one is just “not actually stopping”
