Yes, some cyclists run the lights. Also pedestrians cross against the no crossing signs. Cars run lights late. It's NYC. It's chaotic. It's never going to be perfect.

yeah, most bikers are assholes but drivers are worse. i ride bikes and almost always cars are doing something horribly illegal and dangerous. hell, i walk and cars endanger me that way.
what i don't get is the whole 'bike culture' thing. it's just a fucking bike. hell i ride them but i won't devote my life to them.

Thom Thumb,
Bikers are pussies weather they are on a bike or not...
They think pedestrians are afraid of them...I stand my ground and watch them fall on thier asses because its what they deserve

Fuck the Bikers in NYC and Brooklyn... They go around thinking they are better then anyone who is walking. If you want to be treated like a car and ride on the road then you have to follow the light system and cross walks. There is no reason as a pedestrian I should almost be hit by a cock-sucker on a bike not adhering to the walk signs for pedestrians.
