I’m sure if I had blue/red flashing lights, they will issue a citation.
There are so many other crimes happening in the big city that a cyclist trying to use any means possible to increase visibility so they don't get killed is small potatoes. I'd rather not get doored to death, shot by gun point or run over during a high speed chase all while just trying to enjoy a bike ride. Not everyone rides in some backwater hick town.
