If people aren’t driving cars down a road because stopping at so many stop signs is unpleasant, why do you expect cyclists to bike down that road, when they actually have to physical work (not just pushing a pedal) getting up to speed again? Stop signs suck for bikes more than for cars. If cars avoid a route because of stop signs, of course bikes will avoid it!
In my area, there are very few cyclists who actually bike to get anywhere. They do it for exercise and/or to be allowed to wear their little padded shorts in public. So get the exercise from peddling away from a stop sign. The reason to choose that route instead of the others? To not get hit by cars.
And what exactly is the pedestrian excuse? Why do people insist on walking on the sidewalkless busy roads when in between them there’s a sidewalkless non-busy road?
