Single speed might destroy the knees even faster than jogging.

The real advantage of running here is not having to lock up the bike.

Cyclists don't do that anyway.

I do, except the odd pedestrian crossing when there's no one else
crossing or likely to cross.

This is all hypothetical but supposing you are out in the middle of the desert. No motorists are out on the road.

Not only will no one care if you run a stop light or stop sign, no one will even notice.

I always stop at red lights.
It gives me a chance to safely ogle that delicious miniskirted girl
walking on the pavement.
