And how many of you obey the traffic laws on your bicycles??? Around here they seem to think they are immune to Stop signs, red lights...
i run redlights and stop signs when it is safe. I certainly wouldn't do it as a car was coming at me.
Keeping momentum > the law.
I actually got pulled over by an Ocean City, MD police officer for running a redlight on my bicycle. He let me go. He was just out to make his large head even larger.
Regarding traffic laws, I'll be safe but not necesarily law-abiding.
I current have a Trek 820, girlfriend has a Trek 4500 Disc.
Anybody have experience with cyclecross bikes? 90% of my riding is on pavement, but I don't want a full-on road bike because of the occasional gravel/dirt/grass parts I ride on. So I've been looking at a Trek XO1. Alternatively, I can put some roadbike equipment on my 820, but I'm drawn to the shiny, new bike.
