How does the bicyclist manage the cross traffic at intersections? Are they able to time it just right to continously hit green lights?

I love how we just give the motorcycle a pass.

And you're likely wrong about that, depending on the area. Cars get really hamstrung by city intersections: lights at every block, pedestrians, etc., etc. The more congestion there is, the safer he'll be.

Third, I counted. The total time he spent running reds during that whole video is still less than a second.

Yep. You can do that in some areas in DC, too. You can catch the wave and get through a good dozen lights before the pattern changes and you hit a red.

Their are old riders and there are bold riders. There are no old, bold riders.
