I'd probably get pretty mad at you for crossing at a red light on a bike. I'm sorry for your incident, but to give a perspective on "the other side": if there is a bike lane, I would fully expect you to stay that lane and not cross in the road.

And if you do, do it only after you did take a look behind you if someone is coming (and if that's difficult, because it IS difficult, consider putting a mirror on your bike, as it can save your life).

I'll always think having car-free cities will be the best, but having bikes and cars in the same roads is madness.
