If you regularly cycle, please answer me this: Do you, hypothetically of course, jump red lights? If so, how much: every time you possibly can without (you hope) causing a collision, only at the more minor/pointless lights, or only when (for example) your lights aren't changing because they haven't sensed your presence?

If you jump red lights, do you feel at all guilty about it, or do you consider it a perfectly reasonable, courteous and safe act which is only "technically" illegal and is "morally" acceptable because really traffic lights are only supposed to be for motorists?

No, I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely interested and I'm not saying I necessarily condemn jumping red lights in all circumstances, but if you're going to assume bad faith then kindly don't bother replying, and if you're "N Ron Hubbard" then definitely don't reply (not that I'll read your post if you do).
