i like what that one reply said.. about Idaho.

They've mended the law so that stop signs are treated as yield and lights are treated as stop signs for bikers.

Of course we should stop.
Unless of course we are riding in large groups.
Then it would be safer to run through.

Just posted it on blogging.la as well - it's definitely a hot topic every time it comes up.

Red means stop. Green means go. Yellow means go very fast ...

i agree w rattbones except in situations when you're alone at a stop light and there are no cars or hazards around at all.

i have no problems running those, as long as i know i'm not gonna get hit by something, or piss someone else off.

Some of you dedicated red light runners would get there just as quick, or quicker, if you waited at the lights but rode faster than fuckin' 2 MPH. Just saying.

and EVEN faster if you rode fast as hell, and carefully/safely ran reds.

the replies to that on digg are neat.

but yeah... take each light as what they are.

i still wonder, the guys who always complain about cyclist running lights, do they prefer we stand in front of them, slowly get up to pedal instead?

I'm still wondering about the ones bitching about bikes lane splitting at stop lights. What are we supposed to sit BEHIND all these cars, inhaling more of their exhaust?

Drivers that bitch about lane splitting are just mad cause a guy on a bike is passing their sorry ass with a smile on their face.

They're just haters.

That's how I ride. Hell, that's how I drive, too.

god, reading comments on digg really piss me off. i love how these retards just automatically assume that the topic at hand is whether or not bikes should run red lights in direct obstruction of oncoming cross-traffic.

nobody is suggesting that a cyclist should race through and intersection knowing a car is coming, yet these morons keep saying things like "if it's car vs. bike, car wins." jesus fucking christ.

Kent is a better writer, a better cyclist, and all around a better person than I am, so I'm with Kent on this one.

For freewheelers only: I find pedaling backwards when slowing on approach may better inform those who see it. It may also make the instant I act to accelerate more quickly detected and understood for what it is. Works for me anyway.

Only time I blow the red is when there's no one else around, or drivers are too preoccupied to care.
Other times, if the traffic is clear in the crossing directions, I just spin the metal and disappear.
I mean, you've already broken the law, why make it worse by sticking around and gloating??
