I can stop my bike on a dimeI am not coming to a full complete stop at sign nor light; I don't care if it's legal or not.filtering and rolling stops on a bike are to non-bicyclists as lanesplitting is to non-motorcyclists.. if you havent mastered it, you cant understand the benefits or safety aspects, it just 'looks' dangerous; so the knee-jerk reaction is to say ban it.I also refuse to wear a cycle helmet unless i'm mountainbiking..but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.
I'm fine with it. Let a few of the arrogant, "share the road" aggressive bicyclists get plastered and then common sense may just reign over posted law. Where I live so close to the People's Republic of Cambridge, there are plenty of pushy bicyclists. Invariably, they are not people just out for a ride, but the day glo dbags in racing gear or urban hipsters. While I'm certain that Darwin will sort this out, it would be nice if someone spoke up and mentioned that "share the road" doesn't mean "cut in front of traffic to take a left turn".
The first recorded stop sign was installed in Detroit Michigan in 1915.
Police Officer William L. Potts of Detroit, Michigan, decided to do something about the problem caused by the ever increasing number of automobiles on the streets. What he had in mind was figuring out a way to adapt railroad signals for street use. Potts used red, amber, and green railroad lights and about thirty-seven dollars worth of wire and electrical controls to make the world�s first 4-way three color traffic light. It was installed in 1920 on the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit. Within a year, Detroit had installed a total of fifteen of the new automatic lights.
