Often these are the hard-core bicycle messenger types. I guess they think they are "sticking it to the man!" Whenever I see one of these guys/girls running a red light all I can think of is my brother-in-laws funeral, my sister crying and his friends looking shell shocked, contemplating a life taken to soon due to the collision of a cyclist and a car.
