They must have very tolerant attitudes to drivers with defective
vision in Canada.

"When cyclist ignore red lights, they cross in front of pedestrians
who have the green light. About 41% of cyclists at peak hour pay no
attention to them."

Only 41%? So in Australia the majority of cyclists obey red lights
then?

Oh how carefully you snip the bits that might support your assertation that
cyclists obey traffic laws.

From the same article;
"Cyclists at about 75% of Sydney city intersections: ride illegally on
footpaths, they dangerously wind in and out of pedestrians and they speed".

Of course if 41% of motorists jumped the lights there would be a wankcry
from cyclists. Since the motorists would all be traced by their
registration plates, they would all be fined. A clear case for regulation.
