The Idaho Stop makes sense to me and is basically what I did as a kid when I biked a lot more, but as a driver (in Redmond no less, the "bicycle capital of the northwest") I still want more restrictions on bikers. Basically my dream is this: if there isn't a defined bike lane, bikes are pedestrians. This implies they should stay on the sidewalk (or if there is no sidewalk then the shoulder or side-dirt) and use the pedestrian crosswalks at stoplight intersections unless the Idaho Stop applies, especially if they need to go left they should wait at the crosswalk instead of crossing over a few lanes to the left-turn lane.
