Usually, most of our local cyclists that run stop lights and stop signs at a high rate of speed are occasional cyclists and are not representative of our main commuter base, and these occasional cyclists learn soon enough this is not the best course of action.

Is property damage the only thing we should be concerned about? Or is it that when we, as a society, make rules, they're supposed to apply to everyone equally?
