The Tennessean has a full page op ed on bicycling in the Nashville area. Very pro-cycle with some very good points made. I for my own good this year am going to be more alert to following traffic rules (meaning I have floated a lot of stop signs)! I do signal, but boy do I hate to unclip!
You can sit at any stop sign in town & 90% of the cars will do a rolling stop. It actually improves the flow of traffic as the next car doesn't have to wait the extra time for you to stop. The only exceptions are at a busy intersections or if a police ossifer is obviously watching & likely looking for an excuse to generate a little extra revenue.
I was at East Main and Tennessee Blvd the other day when a cyclist floated the light. There was NO cross traffic anywhere near the corner so the float was safe & convenient.
Nah, I don't float on my bike...Just fly thru if I'm sure no cars are around. The truck floats unless someone is there to catch me - but, I look both ways (for bikes AND police).
