^^Yes, that!^^

Traffic regulations (referred to as "laws" here) for cyclists are to establish right-of-way (as far as I am concerned). If I am cycling at 7 AM on a Sunday morning through a deserted Downtown I will likely never have to hit my brakes. The same ride at 5 PM weekdays I shall grant right-of-way as necessary, but my goal is the same - to not stop for "no one" as the haiku above so accurately states.

There are times where I am flying along breaking 10 "laws" a minute, and there are other times where I have to line up like the rest and wait my turn as granted by traffic control furniture.
