LOL. Yeah, by that logic, if an Asian guy punches me unprovoked, that justifies being racist towards Asians.

That is not what we are saying at all. We are saying sometimes it's safer to pass through, sometimes it's safer to stop--one should use their judgement to decide what to do.

I see both. A lot. I'm kind of surprised you don't see people roll stops, I thought it was pretty universal. I've lived in MA, VT, NYC and CA and it's very common, as far as I can tell.

Anyway,...

I don't see anyone here saying that it does. You don't seem to get it, but that's OK.

First, cars and bikes are different vehicles, one weighs thousands of pounds and is capable of 100+ mph and very quick acceleration, and one weighs, say, +/-200 lbs and is capable of much less speed...

Yeah, if you listen to some of these guys, we should all be dead! I can tell you that I'd feel a lot safer cycling in NYC / Philly than in, say, most of Texas.

Maybe in Lincoln. Here in NYC, the people who carefully roll reds are, well, almost everybody. It keeps traffic flowing and is safer for the cyclist. Almost everybody jaywalks, too. That's just how...

LOL. First, I am not a proponent of "blowing" red lights. I am a proponent of carefully passing them when it is safe. It will not get me arrested. If it ever gets me a ticket, I will take that as...

Cycling is potentially fatal. We all take risks. IMO, here in NYC, safely and courteously rolling a red light generally decreases my risk. I don't much care if you think it's stupid there in MD.

It doesn't come down to that at all, because I define what is wrong and right for me. The law is a totally separate concept from what is wrong and right--this has been discussed since antiquity, and...

I know, right? And don't forget how they run reds. I sit on my porch and smoke a pipe on a regular basis, usually for about an hour. There is an intersection right here, and if what happens there on...

LOL, wow! I'm saying what *I* do and what *I*consider rude. I'm not holding a weapon to your head telling you that you need to do the same. Get a grip, man.

For me, I don't give a good god damn...

"Shoaling" people is a totally different subject than running lights. It's generally rude and I don't do it unless it's totally obvious that I am faster than the person in front of me--for instance,...

This poll is kind of dumb. I predict the thread gets locked. I'm not voting for any of the current options.

My option would be, "I do it when it's safe. When it's not, I don't."

Also, "when no...
