An Idaho stop is like a california stop but for bicycles. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

Based on the article from [https://lemmy.ca/post/2016593](this post), apparently Idaho was the first state to pass a law allowing a rolling stop for bicycles. As one of the least progressive states in most issues, I am pleasantly surprised at their being first at passing a pro-cycling law and forty years later there are still only ten other states that have followed their lead. Good job little Idaho.

It's like a Quebec red light. The first and last 10 seconds don't count and if it's less than 20 seconds it's only a suggestion.

Also I don’t know how to do links here and I can’t find a way to edit posts on mlem.

Have you ever met anyone from Idaho? No! Because it doesn't exist!
