>The thing that makes intersections a little annoying when you have to stop at them is not the effort of stopping and starting, it's the physical AND mental effort required to evaluate all the possible options for stopping and then balancing the bike, then choosing and encating the right one. Do you deny that you said this in your original reply? >it's the physical AND mental effort required to evaluate all the possible options for stopping and then balancing the bike, then choosing and encating the right one You are actively denying that you ever said this part and are insisting that I'm trolling you. Everything I've said about "shouldn't be biking" is in relation to this asinine statement. If stopping at an intersection requires this much physical and mental effort you shouldn't be biking. Full stop. Your defense is of any complex intersections and blah-blah-blah and I stick to my original statement: If it is too difficult for you, practice or stop for the safety of others. "You" not necessarily being you in this scenario but those who find it takes significant amounts of physical and mental effort to stop at an intersection and they would rather not deal with the effort.
