I hear everyone’s argument about safety and convenience,
And I understand those points.
But I am questioning if that is really all there is to it.

I am very firmly entrenched in the “Cyclist should never run red lights” camp.

I believe that Humans are habit-forming creatures.

If I form the habit of never running stop signs in my car, then the risk of me running a stop sign at the wrong time goes down.
If I form the habit of never running stop signs on my bike, then the risk of running a stop sign at the wrong time goes down.

It cost me money every time I stop my car unnecessarily in my car.
And I live in an area where I could very frequently run stop signs in my car with out any other living thing seeing me.
But I do stop anyway because I don’t wont to develop the bad habit of running stop signs.

My point is I don’t believe in running stops signs even on my bike.

Yet I still catch myself doing it.
