Idaho 'Rolling' Stops for Bicycles in Oregon

The Oregon Legislature is considering passage of a law that would allow bicycle riders to treat stop signs as yield signs. These "rolling stops" would allow bike riders to preserve some of the momentum they depend upon for efficient travel, just so long as they don't infringe on the safety and rights of others.
The law is based on one that's been successful in Idaho for the last 27 years, so it's come to be known as the "Idaho Stop" law.
There's some controversy - and whole lot of misunderstanding - surrounding the proposed Idaho Stop law. Spencer Boomhower ( http://boomhower.com ) does a great job helping clear thing up with the magic of animation.

The Idaho law is a common sense idea that has proven itself for almost 30 years. This video is very good but it doesn't do any good telling people why cyclists almost always make rolling stops. Car drivers just don't care about our energy. What is important is that bicycles are built so differently than cars that the laws shouldn't be the same for both. Cars reduce the driver's ability to hear & see cross traffic. A bike leaves the rider open to hear & see.

I'm an cyclist from Portland, Oregon and obey the laws of the road laid forth for cars and trucks. I've been struck while breaking laws. I totally do it the right way now, but I like this slow-roll, yield idea. It would be good for the Idaho Tourist Assc. to invite people to move to Idaho if they like to bicycle in traffic and don't like to stop every few blocks, etc. Nice-5/5 stars.

Fuck bikes. They already ignore traffic laws while getting all self righteous while screaming "WE ARE TRAFFIC!!!" Yeah. That's why the vast majority of car-bike accidents are found to be the fault of the cyclist.
