I do exactly what Biciclista does. I never run red lights, but I do use rolling stops at some stop signs.
There was one highway crossing (a suburban street) that I had to do when I commuted. It was about 6:00 to 6:15 AM when I got there and hardly any cars. My bike would not trip the signal, so I did cross on the red a few times. There's no ped. signal there (why I don't know, since it's a major crossing for cyclists and runners to get from one side of town to the other) either.
