Since Snowy mentioned it earlier in the thread, I thought I'd post this video demonstrating the mechanics of the proposed Idaho Stop legislation that apparently failed in Oregon.
Judging from the post history on the thread, this won't do anything to win over the hearts of those who feel bikes don't belong on roads without lanes dedicated to their use, but as a cyclist that values my forward momentum, I feel this is a step in the right direction.
