    Bicyclists running reds? Is the court summons just to get a psyche eval? That’s mental.

      Running reds, like speeding, isn’t inherently “dangerous”. It’s a legal term. In the same way that going 40.01 mph in a 40 is speeding, running the red by .1 second is legally the same as by 10 seconds.

      In shitty American streets bikes are probably safer to keep at the back of a platoon, which running reds lets them do.
