He was riding on the right side of the road as I went by. About a mile away was a stop sign (4 way) in a very small town. There was a small line of cars at the stop sign.

I took my turn stopping, and signaled a right turn and turned. The biker had caught up to me by then and "whoosh" he went by and I almost hit him. I would have if I wouldn't have hit the brakes.

What does he do, he flips me off.

I bike and hate when bikers do this. It gives us all a bad name. He is traffic, and he has to stop at the stop sign also. If bikers want to be part of traffic, they have to act like it and obey the laws.

Thoughts?

Agree!

Agree!

Anyone ever see/hear off a bicyclist being ticketed for "running a stop sign?" They could hand out tickets all day long just down the road....

Yes I have heard of it. Apparently Wayzata does it frequently downtown.

Dang! He's asking to get nailed one of these days. Could be a case of "bike rage" if he's not careful.

You should go downtown Minneapolis during the day. Those bikers think the road is their road and the cars are always wrong. They cut in front you, don't abide by any traffic laws. They drive on both sides of the road. I guarentee 1 trip through downtown and you can almost hit 10 people if not carefull.
