Ditto -- I can see and hear quite well, and when I come through town it's 5:30 am. There is absolutely nothing "unsafe" about how I ride, though I NEVER blast through lights without breaking stride like a lot of folks do.
I do an Idaho stop, and since it's not legal to do so around DC I am technically breaking the law every time I ride.
In almost 4 years I've never had an accident.
