Matthew Rider

While we don't legally (I think) need to put a foot down, I've started doing
that more and more often as it seems that motorists don't know if I'll be
running the sign or not when I'm riding slowly or track standing while
waiting for them. I figure it's worth the extra hassle of unclipping to keep
from upsetting a motorist.

I understand that there's a resource to call when sensors at lights aren't
sensitive enough to detect a bicycle. Anyone know what that contact info is
for Washington County, there are a couple of lights I regularly end up
running because I can't trigger them on my bike.
