I was out on Alameda today and while the later half of the ride doesn’t have many stop signs, the first half of the trip runs right through a few suburbs laden with stop signs at every corner. About 90% of the time I’ll come to the empty intersection and end up having to unhook myself from the left pedal (not clip less, but the strap sort of thing). This being in California, complete stops are a very rare occurrence and most cars just slow down to about 5mph before speeding up again (provided there are no other cars waiting to go). While driving and cycling I’ve always been pretty good about making complete stops, but that was before I started using these pedals. It’s pretty annoying to have to keep unhooking myself and then trying to flip the pedal around and insert my foot. I’m not too familiar with the laws and leeway police have towards bikers that slow down to a near crawl (under 1Mph) and then continue on without putting a foot down. My friend says his cousin got a fine for not putting his foot down, but I wasn’t informed on the situation. I only do this when the entire intersection is empty and there are no cars in sight. Any thoughts on this prospect of stop signs?
