If running a red light on a vehicle, like bicycle for example, is against the law, why so many of you do it? Why don't you focus on getting enough support to change the law in cevilized way, rather than break it and hope it will be changed? Going to court and hoping to get a liberal judge who will let you go may not help you next time when you encounter someone who will follow the law.
What amazes me is that I see so many of New York City riders over the weekend on 9W, and you all seem to follow the traffic law of red light, so what prevents you to follow the same rule in the city? And don't tell me there are lights at every block as an excuse, because if it is law, then either follow or find solution, like filing a petition or moving to a place where the traffic lights are not at every block. Don't break the law! Remember why the civilization was established, because our forefathers did not see value in the survival of the fittest law of the jungle :)
Hope this comments are considered though provoking, and not slanderous.
