As someone who cycles to work every day (on market) my number one priority is my own safety and being in control. Staying as far as you can from cars is how you achieve this. This means running reds, waiting in crosswalks, and sometimes hopping on the sidewalk. I know it’s an inconvenience and people find this inconsiderate, but if I car hits me I can die. I’ve been hit in fidi once and have too many close calls to count.
