I have a reputation to uphold, so yes, I stop at all red lights, and stop signs too. Even those way out in the boonies.
Locally, we've had three cyclists killed here in the past nine months, and every one of those fellows ran a stop sign and was hit by a truck. Of the many complaints that i receive from or hear about from the general public, nearly every one (>90%) deal with either running stop signs & red lights, or riding in a swarm filling all the traffic lanes in a given direction, and quite often some of the other direction's half, too. Cyclists who are diligent about following the rules of the road are good ambassadors for cyclists everywhere.
