I get your point. But a bike does not carry the same responsibility as a car. The damage you do on a bike has significantly less consequences then a that of motor vehicle in the same manuever. Hence a cyclist is not required to carry liability insurance.
Not arguing that anybody needs to run stop signs or redlights. These should only be argued on a case-by-case basis, as I also have many lights that I stop at, and many stop signs that I treat as yield signs on my regular routes.
I'm guessing you've missed the various articles that have been posted/linked to here that show plenty of people have been hit and injured/killed by people riding bicycles.
