Rick, I really think you need to reconsider this behavior. Traffic lights/intersections are the most dangerous spots for a bike. Combine that with your attitude that it's "only a couple blocks away" and well...
Last year a very experienced rider was participating in a track day. He had many under his belt. He rode the bike to the inspection w/o helmet. On the way back he slipped on something going 15 mph and fell on his head and did not survive.
Wear the lid every single time!
