Last week I rolled through a red light. I had been stopped for a train, 1 foot on the ground, when it left and the barricades went up I start rolling, flipping the unmanned pedal to get my shoe in the cage. Well, there's about 3 car lengths of road beyond the tracks where the traffic light is. I forgot that it's not green because everybody starts going when the train leaves, I'm looking at my pedal and by the time I look up and snap at what I'm doing I'm entering the cross street. Luckily no one was going to be crossing my path so I just kept going, but I felt like a dumbass and figured all the drivers who saw me thought I was a big **** head cyclist who did it on purpose.
But it's OK. I stopped twice at the next one.
