I agree. Isn't this exactly what all of us do on virtually every ride?

Ever been riding down a completely deserted

residential street and roll up to a 4 way stop? What

do most of us do? Most likely-roll through without

making a complete stop. Anyone ever get a ticket for

doing just that? Were you happy?

The law is intended for use with some common sense.

Obviously I am not going to briefly yield and roll

through a 2 way stop crossing SE 39th during rush

hour; however, I do find the logic of cyclists

complaining about using too much energy to start and

stop laughable at best.
