If that's the case, that stopping or slowing ad dodging for traffic lights causes a myriad of biomechanics issues, etc., then the cyclist should not be on the road. It's both dangerous for him to NOT BE FOLLOWING the traffic laws (which are clearly stated cyclists must do), but it is dangerous for drivers who have equal rights as him to be on the streets
