This is a good idea. It takes a lot of energy to start and stop and start again on a bicycle. Especially on the bottom of a hill. Cyclists are generally very aware and can safely roll stop signs.

When I used to ride a lot, I did it often, as long as there were no cars present and my doing so was not an inconvenience in any way to anyone else.

Plus, when a bike stops, the rider takes longer to get to speed, which does inconvenience the car behind him.

I ride my bike and I roll stop signs. It’s just easier.

I have ridden my bike a bit and I still believe that bicyclist should stop. It forces everyone to reset and check the traffic and conditions.

After all, it is the bicyclist who has more to lose.

I agree. When I roll up to a stop sign and I see a bicyclist coming I always wave them through.
