I do not think bikes need to stop at red lights, current laws and urban design are designed to make it really comfortable for cars.
It also makes is more dangerous for me to stop at red lights - because cyclists are bottlenecks in road. they can easily cause a lot of cars to slow down. I have had situations where I stopped at a red light and 4 huge lorries were behind me and once the signal got green they tried to overtake me.It was a really scary ride. If I got ahead on the mostly empty road I could moved ahead enough to reduce the time I was a bottleneck on the road benefiting both the car drivers and me.
