I seem to recall an Oregon law passed in recent years that, for cyclists,
effectively made stop signs yield signs - meaning that you would only stop
if there were actually traffic to stop for.
I recall some heated debate on the obra list about this at the time, so I'm
pretty sure this law existed somewhere in Oregon.
Does anybody remember this, or am I taking crazy pills?

The ticket is to the driver. Each of you happened too be one. If you want
more value for your dollar, next time, do it on a tandem.
