I've never really understood why bicycles are treated as cars. It's just unrealistic. They can't keep up at ALL, and of course sharing the road is going to be a problem when you have such a disparity in speed like that. Just let 'em ride on the sidewalks, grass, make bike lanes for them, whatever, give them as much incentive to ride as possible. If it's a big congested city, sure, ride on the road, I don't care when we're all going 10mph, but otherwise I think sharing the road is a dangerous pipe dream. I mean, damn, motorcycles are dangerous enough. I don't have the balls to ride a bicycle around anything but a neighborhood or bike path/sidewalk.
I can't imagine being pissed off at a bike running a red light any more than I would be a mexican running across a four lane road. Scared for his life, sure, but not angry. Godspeed, I hope you make it!
