^^My road bikes are practical, *because * they go fast. I can keep up with the traffic and behave like a car, or filter if I need to. I couldn't do that on a big wide dutch bike. Your slower dutch bike made you start waiting at the lights more, interesting. I stopped jumping the lights a few years ago when my speed increased- it didnt seem safe anymore. When I rode an mtb in work clothes I did whatever the fuck I wanted, I was an absolute prick in fact, but in cycling kit on a quicker bike I began to behave differently.
