Let’s talk seriously about why cyclists break traffic laws
- SwellJoe 12y agoBehavior of cyclists does vary across cities...I've biked in dozens of cities while traveling, and it's surprising the difference between a city with good bike infrastructure and a city without. I know that the only red light I consistently obey in my current home city (Austin) is the one for cyclists on the dedicated bike lane on 4th Street downtown, and the reason is that it's the only one (that I regularly interact with) that is consistently safe for me to obey. Others put me in competition with cars, which is never a situation I want to be in.
