I completely agree, though I do think the laws for cycling should be slightly different than those for driving, like the idaho stop.

Every morning I come to an intersection at the bottom of a hill with a bike line. It's a big intersection, maybe even like 6 ways. There's always a line of bikes stopped at the light. But there's also always some guy that just rides past everyone stopped at the light and blows through the intersection. I hate those guys. We're all waiting with one foot on the ground, but the world revolves around Mr. Hipster. I don't know how they don't get hit.
