I know that I would if I was caught, of which the probability is nearly zero, since I have plenty of time to assess the situation coming into the intersection. It's not like I'm blowing through at top speed.

But the way I see it, is that the rule for bikes should be changed to ticket those who blow through a stop sign, but those who slow down and coast through are posing no threat to safety. It's a silly ticketable offense.

I should point out that I don't bike downtown at all, and I'm sure the atmosphere there is completely different, and bikes might want to operate more like cars.
