Red Means Stop! - Traffic LightRED MEANS STOP!

Obeying traffic signals is the law. Breaking the law invites a run-in with law enforcement, or worse, a collision. Bicyclist do not defeat cars.

There is no honor in the yellow/red light breakaway. Consider your safety and the safety of those around you. Obey the law or ride elsewhere.
