I run Reds, stop signs, ride with no lights, ride the wrong way at times because it is faster....I do this when I'm on the sidewalk. But when I take the lane..I ride like I am driving a car because I want to be predictable to those around me for my own safety. Especially if I see a cop in the shadows...at the stop sign I put my feet down and proceed.

Then again I live in an area where the cops never mess with cyclists!
