cyclist

My experience as an urban cyclist is that close calls are inevitable, cyclist never at fault or otherwise.

As it is, too often a cyclist is seen as a slow, narrow car in the rules.

Running a red is literally shortening the cyclist's life by depriving him or her from the foregone physical activity.

I mean really, a cyclist running a red light in an empty crossing (after stopping and seeing that the crossing is clear) is some kind of danger to anybody?

It's a slight inconvenience that the cyclist should respect laws that are in place to prevent them from being hit by a car or prevent them plowing into a pedestrian/other cyclist.

They know they can expect a cyclist pop up any time from out of nowhere.

As a cyclist, I definitely agree with you - but this applies to other cyclists too.

Bicyclists running red lights never kill anybody (other than maybe the cyclist).

Of course cyclist don't want to stop their momentum, that makes sense.

I can't think of anywhere else in the US where a cyclist could a century ride without having to deal with automobiles.

Worse, cyclist blew a red light on the wrong way.

How exactly do you propose a cyclist train falling?

In fact, I would say it's more reflexive and "muscle memory" ingrained within them that their subconscious is able to take care of a majority of the process without much conscious thought of the cyclist.
