for a cyclist comitting a traffic offense, speeding, running reds, etc, the penalty can be equal to committing the violation in a car because a vehicle on the road is a vehicle on the road. I think it should go both ways; people who steal bikes should receive the penalty for stealing a car. they did steal someone's vehicle.
