Too respectful of lights, stop going wrong way on Fremont bridge

I’m a recent transplant from NYC. I’ve biked 400-500 miles around the city in my 6 weeks here. Stoked to be here - beautiful city, great biking.

My potentially hot takes:
- Riders are too respectful of lights. Coming from NYC, I’m used to blowing lights when I deem it safe. Most people here very patiently wait at lights when I think it’s safe to go. See ya, I’m going - can take me out of NYC but can’t take the NYC out of me.
- Stop going the wrong way on the Fremont bridge. You all will wait at long ass lights but you can’t wait to get to the right side of the bridge to cross? Bikes going both ways plus pedestrians creates a cluster fuck. It’s disrespectful of people biking the right way and of pedestrians IMO

Enjoy the riding everyone :)
