The video was probably stupid, but it would have more meaning as evidence in court.
If I didn't stop I would be smooshed by a pickup.

So every day I leave my house I need to see if they changed the sensor? Of course also when I come back home?

Which doesn't work on streets with medians or that's what I would do.

Another reason to ride Steel bikes. Lay the bike over sideways and it'll trip many lights.

Riding with the Saturday group they are used to waiting forever at certain lights. They all have carbon bikes. The light will cycle over and over. I roll up and say "I got it" and the light changes. They're usually caught off guard. :)

^^That's awesome!^^

I have a slightly different method.

I blaze through the red and leave them standing in my dust with their rules in their hands.
