I agree with you in condemning running red lights/stop signs and reckless behavior. However, I recently found out that statutes in my area state that bicycles may treat red lights as stop signs.

On my bike, I occasionally take refuge in cross walks in order to check cross-traffic. After reading your post, I'll look into the specific statues applicable to this practice.

I'm happy if the bicyclist at least stops (and appropriately yields right-of-way) at stop lights.

I taught my kids to get off of the bike and walk it at cross-walks. I would be very surprised if they still do that because so few folks do.
