Cyclists don't break laws with any greater frequency than motorists do. A number of studies have shown this. When cyclists do break laws they often cite safety reasons for doing so. Motorists say they most often break the law for reasons of convenience. When cyclists break the law they don't present much of a danger to others at all. The same cannot be said for motorists.

Translation: it's okay for cyclists to break laws because of the perception of safety. I'm sure running stop signs and lit intersections squares with that theory.
Explain again how not yielding to runners fits that theory?
