The term "NIMBY" is usually used for projects that the NIMBY supports, or at least acknowledges the need for, but just doesn't want in their back yard: power plants, halfway houses, low income housing, etc. Using NIMBY for pe

> I'll take 4-way stop any day since speeds are lower. Exactly. People are, at worst, doing a "rolling stop" so they are still only going a few kph when they "didn't see" you.

I don't think so ... they are going higher on more challenging routes, climbing hills that they can then do not have the skills to get down safely. With a heavier bike.
