So, you crossed at red for vehicules but there was a “green” for the crosswalk?

You were (riding) in the roadway (not on the sidewalk/crosswalk). So, “car” rules apply.

If you were riding on the sidewalk and it was legal to do that (that isn’t universal), the pedestrian rules would have applied.

(When walking your bike, you are a pedestrian.)

The title for this thread should be:

Ticketed for riding through a red light
