I hope this means everyone has a dew can ready for the next time they see ER or Brutus ride through an intersection illegally.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

It is fascinating to me that the red light seems to be the one law drivers will not break. Speed limits, stop signs, signaling for turns, many drivers have no problem ignoring. But a car will wait obediently at a red light at 5:00 in the morning with no cars coming for miles in either direction.

FTR, I suspect I ride through red lights maybe 2-3% of the time, and then ONLY after I've slowed down to a near stop and if there aren't any cars or pedestrians in sight. In my experience, at least here in the Bay Area, that's true for a very large majority of cyclists. Stop signs? Again, I always slow down to a crawl, and yield to any other car/bike that's reached the intersection before me, but I prefer not to come to a complete stop as clipping in and out is a bother. I get the anger at cyclists who don't follow my routine , but in my experience they're in a distinct minority. Cyclists killed by motorists vs. motorists (or even pedestrians) killed by cyclists? And motorists are the ones enraged? I assume except for Gracie they're all fat slobs who resent the fact that but for their lousy driving, the cyclist will live a lot longer.

I'm in favors of bikers, drivers, and walkers ignoring traffic stops when they are clearly unnecessary.
The main reason people won't run red lights is because it seems so blatantly obvious that a cop could see the infraction from any distance.
People don't ride bikes where I live, so I don't have to worry about them. If they did, I'm sure I'd side with Mark Grace.

Here's one scenario where I generally get more annoyed at the runners/peds than cyclists. There's a bridge at the bottom of my neighborhood, and when the bridge goes up during the afternoon commute, it backs up all the bikers, runners, walkers, etc. When the bridge goes back down, I know the bikers are going to move faster than I do, so I politely let all the bikers go through so I don't hold them up. But I see some runners/walkers that just head out before the bikers, and then the whole bridge gets backed up because the bikers can't move at their normal speed. Morans. Though I think the really enemy in this instance is the effing boaters.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.
