I invite your opinions on this one.
Personally, i run them if I think they are safe. I stop at major intersections of course, but I blow through them after checking they are safe if they are not biggies.
Still it is a moral question. We rail at motorists who break the law and endanger us. My view is that there is a large difference between a car breaking the rules and a bike. The roads are largely designed for cars, not bikes, so whereas we are entitled to our liberties, endangering no one as we do, so cars need to understand the balance of their responsibilities.
Anyway, have your say!
