Random iPhone foto from Ali in NYCWe should have run that light. It was red for way too long. I stopped. I looked both ways -- twice! Proceeded cautiously through the light and kept on my merry way. Pedaling. Blue and red lights behind me. Ugh.
"Officer, I sware I looked both ways before I ran that light back there. I Sware!"
Officer- "Yes, I saw you. Here's a ticket. Tell it to the judge."
I understand that bikes may clog the right hand turn lane for cars behind me and I actually make a point to get out of the way. If I look both ways and see no cars coming --either way-- I look again for extra caution and usually run the RED,YELLOW or Green. The car behind me moved. I moved cautiously on my way.
Last thought:
In spring-time we have dry streets but gravel -or- even sand is just as nasty as black ice.
