No, and furthermore, anyone, in this city at least who rides a bicycle anywhere other than on the trails, or their lawn, needs to be on suicide watch.

This is contradictory to the cities "zero pedestrian deaths" goals and should not be entertained. If approved, it may also further feed the arrogance of the modern street cyclist, something unacceptable in a peaceful civilization. ;)

Bicycles should be able to change "stop" into "yield when motorcycles are allowed to lane filter at traffic lights. Bicycles already can lane filter.

Laws implemented in other states allowing bikers to yield at stop signs (which is essentialy what drivers in Missouri do in practice anyway) actually decrease crashes and it let's bikers avoid needless stop and gos. Bikers aren't going to get in front of a 2 ton box of metal going 34 mph.
