From the text, you cannot get the conclusion that "关于黄灯....自行车是没有理由不停车的".Bicycle is more difficult to stop safely in the same speed as a car (let's say, 20KM/H), so it's absolutely reasonable for a bicycle to run amber light.

The text tell you: It against the law when you can stop and you do not stop. Hope our friend can win, but...We all have experience when biking, we all know what kind of speed we do have, and how long we can stop. If you can't pass the intersection at 60km/hr, don't try it. You won't nesscerily win just because you ride bike or walk.
I fell sorry for the people got hurt, but I want say be careful it is for your safety and other people's safety.

It depends on how fast you are cycling. To my understanding you can always stop your vehicle, let it be a car or bike, safely. I cannot imagine why you cannot do so safely.

以我的经验,在马路上正常行驶(应该不到20公里吧?)的正常煞车的自行车要容易停得多。准备转弯的车已经减速了,更容易停。“the same speed as a car”这个前提恐怕很难成立吧。

It's pretty easy to reach 25-30km/h when you're riding a bike. In some downtown area you even probably run faster than a car. (!)I had been riding to work for 2 summer seasons. I did experience those situations that I had to run the amber light. Panic braking is too dangerous for cyclers.

为了昨天的“左转能否出线”的争论,我也查了这段条文,就是不确信“ENTER THE INTERSECTION”是指出线。其实,优先权的规定也适用于行人,所谓行人在任何情况下优先权最高的说法,我认为是错的。汽车让违规的行人并不是因为行人有优先权,而是避免交通事故的最高原则。其实,对违规的汽车也同样要尽量避让,以免事故。只不过,行人在道路上是最弱者,要特别予以考虑罢了。

You're right. One important rule of driving is that one should try his best to protect lives and avoid accident, even facing dangerous cars. So called "defensive driving".

我想,“ENTERING THE INTERSECTION”是指过线。

左转当然要“ENTERING THE INTERSECTION”,但什么时候Enter,这儿没说。

Do you need somebody to tell you what is the time you make a turn or change the lane? You decide, but safty first.
