I think the biggest concern about cyclists is the I-don't-give-a-damn attitude (entitlement). I understand the reasons to run a red-light when safely clear to do, but when the action affects other users of the road, such as on a busy road, that's when it's a no-no (for example, I almost got sidelined by a cyclist running the bike downhill on a sidewalk as I was pulling out of the garage on my motorcycle). Take my opinion with a grain of salt as a fixed gear cyclist and motorcyclist. (And I do try to observe the law on my pedal bike.)
Cyclist red light running does affect pedestrians. Consider this guy who was killed in NYC. [1]
We all have to share the road. For cyclists, motorists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians in no order.

- gburt 12y agoPlease demonstrate that there is any such "entitlement" attitude among cyclists that does not exist among drivers. It is dangerous for cyclists and other road users for cyclists to "complete stop" at stop signs. It's not entitlement, it's an evaluation of risk.
