Tony, Bicyclists in the U.S. don't seem to observe any rules. They gauge their risk and then go and do what they want. Now that all our sidewalks have been...
Another way of saying this: 'The traffic lights are mainly to guide the cars, not for bicycles. If we do not ignore the lights we will never get anywhere,...
