Eden, I'm talking specifically about cycling in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Right on red is illegal, interstates are rare, and both cyclists and vehicles pull into crosswalks because it's the only way to see around double-parked trucks.

I was merely trying to shed light on the discussion (which was specifically about New York City).

It was not my intention to provoke one of those "drivers are bad too" discussions which are common here and in which I have no desire to participate.
