  - I like to give myself a bit of a head start in some intersections. Roads can be tight here and I want to make sure they see me. - Krusty Jul 27, 06:49

  - Cyclists are trying to make Idaho stops legal but I'm pretty sure they're going to have a hard time convincing the politicians on it. - Krusty Jul 27, 06:38 8
    - People think it's someone "getting away with things" - no, we're getting out of your hair faster. Drivers should love it! -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 06:45

        Correct. They can go if things are clear for them to go. Not just turn into busy traffic. -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 06:45 2
        
        gotcha. I immediately assumed the worst from a biker :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 06:45 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 06:47
yup. YOU drivers follow the rules or else. meanwhile fuck it away we go! -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 06:29 4
- Shitty insane drivers abound. You're just used to them. Cyclists are 'novel' so you notice what they do more. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 06:32 3
