I will never -- ever-- do that again. My fault all the way.
I ride very early in the morning and there is very little traffic. Since that incident, my practice is to always stop at stop lights and wait for the light to turn green.
Experience is a great teacher...most of the time. As a cyclist, if you are hit or hit someone as a result of your breaking the law then you lose the protection of the law. So much of life is about choices and consequences.
