Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

Cars running red lights = driver slamming on the gas trying to beat the yellow. 3000kg of steel and glass travelling at 60+km/hr in a crowded city
Bikes “running” red lights = riders looking both ways and coasting through when it’s clear… 100kg of flesh and aluminium going 10km/hr
These are not even remotely close to the same levels of danger…
So while everyone should follow the rules, enforcement should focus on those with the potential to do the most damage
