And drivers need to also follow the rules of the road, like stopping at red lights, not turning on red when there's a sign forbidding it, following the speed limit, not parking in active traffic lanes (like bike lanes). I could go on for quite awhile. If what you truly care about is folks breaking the rules, then drivers are where you should start.

Did I ever say anywhere that drivers were better at following the rules of the road or that bikes kill anyone, no I didn't not even close. I'm simply responding to the statement made by the bicyclist above that says its alright to blow through red lights which it clearly is not. Just like its not alright for a car to do so either. I also bike around the city as well so I think I'm allowed to criticize what another bicyclist says just like drivers can criticize another driver for doing the wrong thing. Neither side follows the rules. And while cars are certainly more dangerous lets not act like bicyclists are patron saints and can do no wrong

The person you responded to said they breeze past cars at red lights, not that they breeze through red lights.

I believe that's up to interpretation/the way you read because I read it the opposite way and read it as blasting past suvs going through a red light. Regardless bikers running red lights, just like cars, is very much a problem
