obviously i don't mean be reckless and weave in and out of traffic and endanger yourself. but for an example if you're at a red light, and there are no oncoming cars, will you run it?
It doesn't matter if I am the only one at an intersection or not. If the light is red, or there is a stop sign I will stop. If it's a non-three/four-way stop I'll do a trackstand, if it's a three/four-way stop I'll unclip and put my left foot down on the road. Nor do I filter or lane split.
About the only thing I will do is if I need both hands to control my bike not signal a turn or stop.
