Edmonton, Alberta. I live in a central/downtown location, where most streets are quiet 2-lanes. And like I said, I have never seen a cyclist actually stop at a stop sign. Most don't even slow down -- just a quick check to make sure they're not going to get killed, and blow right past.

In many cities it is perfectly legal for bicycles to treat stop signs as yield signs. I have no idea if this is the case in Edmonton, Alberta.

Correct, where I grew up, we were taught in school to get out of intersections as quickly as possible, or dismount and walk across the crosswalk if it was available.

it's one of the benefits of cycling. you could do the same if you weren't stuck in a big metal box. deal with it

Thanks for providing the textbook example of the self entitled cyclist.
