This, most cyclists I see bombing down hills at 30+mph seem woefully unprepared to make a panic stop. Once he committed to making the light there was realistically (probably) no chance he could stop at that cross-walk. Plus, when I'm going through intersections at speed I'm looking for cars and not people.
