There's a middle ground. In Boulder at least, a bicyclist can be ticketed for running a red light, going the wrong way on one-way etc.

- gamache 13y agoThis is definitely true. Bicyclists on public roads have (most of) the same responsibilities as drivers, which means penalties for breaking the rules.
- untog 13y agoThere needs to be more of this. As a relatively new biker in NYC (since the bike sharing program launched) I've been amazed at the suicidal tendencies of my (non-bike share) brethren. At a red light? Just pedal out into the middle of the road to see if you can cross anyway. Going the wrong way? Sure!
- walshemj 13y agoYou should see the nutters on fix wheeled bikes in London I have seen so many that blast through major junctions dodging between pedestrians. Try watching the junctions around Holbourn tube station and you will see several in a few minuets.
- kawsper 13y agoIs that not common? In Denmark where we have a lot of bikes, we have rules specifically written for bicyclists.
