Sounds like the cyclist didn’t stop at the intersection or follow the rules of right of way.

  I am usually one to bash cyclists for not following the rules, but I believe it's actually legal for them to do this at stop signs. They only have to slow down and check for crossing traffic before going through.

    California requires bicyclists to come to a full stop at stop signs. There's no stop-as-yield here. Even in places that do, they still require bicyclists to yield right-of-way to any vehicle stopped at the intersection before they arrived.

    > They only have to slow down and check for crossing traffic before going through. As another poster said, this is not true, but more importantly… Some cyclists treat the “yield at stop sign” concept as “yield to me the cyclist, as I will not slow down unless I have to, and I will be unhappy about that”. I’ve been cursed out, flipped off, and given the evil eye when I pulled out from a stop sign and a cyclist that was far up the road when I looked had to hard brake because they weren’t even slowing down. I’m all for cyclists rights. I was a bicycle messenger one summer, and my replacement was killed in an accident. Being a cyclist can be dangerous and scary, but some cyclists just act like entitled shitheads. Besides being a problem for all folks on the road, they also give cyclists a bad rep.
