Navigating the North End

Spending so much time on a bicycle causes me to really abhor driving especially stop signs and red lights, two traffic features I tend to ignore when pedaling.

Consequently, I was delighted a few weeks ago to discovered the secret of navigating Boise's North End. If you turn at every street without a stop sign you can drive through the North End without stopping!

There is of course two minor hitches:

• You must drive through the North End at diagonals
• Major streets such as Harrison Blvd and 13th violate the rule
