I think they blew through the stop sign because it was a big loud protest/parade sort of thing. Maybe legal?

    Yes in Colorado cyclists can legally treat a stop as a yield.

    interesting. Makes sense, since they generally go slowly enough to see if anyone's coming.

    Yep, it's commonly called the "Idaho Stop". Spending less time in intersections is safer for cyclists, and to me the biggest benefit is shutting down drivers that complain about bikes not stopping completely (even though most cars roll through anyway). If it's busy cyclists still need to stop and wait like normal.
