HOW TO YOU SPELL ‘STOP' IN IDAHO?
You spell it "s-l-o-w d-o-w-n," for bicyclists, anyway. And riders in several other states, Oregon among them, would like to see their law changed to reflect Idaho's, which permits cyclists to slowly roll past stop signs without coming to a complete stop. It is, of course, a potentially controversial topic that some liken to opening a can of worms, because it involves treating bicyclists differently than those operating motorized vehicles.

Robin Hamilton (D-Missoula) is the sponsor of HB 68, currently under consideration by the Montana legislature. If passed, it would allow cyclists to treat stop signs like yield signs. However, Robin told NewWest writer "Wild Bill" Schneider that he thinks the bill will die, because "the cycling community didn't show up at the hearing to support it."
