I never run red lights. It doesn't count if the light is defective and won't change for a bike; those I call in to the public works department so they have something else to not do. I actually stop at stop signs. However, I don't put my foot down. I'm not sure where the silly notion started that cyclists should stop by putting a foot down, but I will do it when they require the other vehicle operators to do it. (I did see one motorist do it once. He was sliding along on the ice; just before he slid into the intersection he opened his door and put his foot down. It provided all the extra friction he needed and he stopped.)
