So, because he "could have" been a pedestrian, she should have received a ticket? What if he had been in a car instead? If you want to have the same rights as vehicles, you're also going to have to abide by the same rules--just because you're on a bike doesn't mean you should be treated "above the law".
This is what drives me crazy about cyclists. We all want to ride on the road with other cars, and yet I see so many riders breaking the law (running lights, etc.), and wanting/expecting to get away with it because "I'm on a bike". If you want respect from other drivers, obey the law.
