The (Idaho Statesman) did a front page article on the safe interaction of cyclists and motorists after three recent cyclist deaths in Boise from traffic accidents. They juice up the story by interviewing gold medal winner Kristen Armstrong. Its great that the Statesman sees the significance of highlighting this area of concern, its just too bad they wait till people died to emphasize the point. Its good Kristin is able to parley her great personal racing accomplishment into some well deserved recognition. But I strongly disagree with some of her advice to cyclists in the Treasure Valley:

Stop at stop signs and lights. Idaho law allows you to go through. But motorists get antsy as they watch you go keep going while they cool their heels.

Question: Did you know that bicyclists are not required to stop at stop signs? Should they be?
