Jumping red lights on a bicycle

[.RJ]

a
In DC, which I commute to/in everyday, seeing a cyclist obey a traffic law is a rarity, they rarely even slow at red lights, frequently lane split, ride wrong way down streets etc. Ive even been cussed at and had my side view mirror hit by a cyclist while he was lane splitting because i was apparently too close to the center line for his tastes. That takes incredible arrogance and entitlement.

Yep, and when they get hit they dont have any right to cry about it. Ride like an idiot and its going to happen.

That is a far different story than running a red light through an empty intersection.
