Bikes and stop signs

[kola]

Les wrote an email to Jon Carroll (and SF Chronicle columnist for those of you not in the Bay Area) and it got printed in a recent column. The letter was about bicyclists and our tendency to blow through stop signs and the occasional red light. I admit that i am completely guilty of not bothering to stop at stop signs

I stop at stop signs on streets with a lot of cross traffic. And obviously I stop anywhere that cross traffic doesn't.

Sometimes I do see bikes breeze through red lights even when there's traffic and that I don't understand. I have a a healthy fear of death, you know?
