"Seems to me", bike riding entails both rights and responsibilities. Run thru lites that are red or blast thru stop signs and payup if u have an accident or are seen and ticketed.
I almost hit a cyclist this Am who ran a stop sign, I didn't have one in my lane, but saw him coming fast and knew he wasn't goin to stop so i did. No helmet, just a jerk I guess, but at least he isn't in the hospital as I surely would have hit him had I not stopped
