Really disappointed to have this happen to me this week.
I can tell that just because a nob head decides to jump a red light and happens to be on a bike he has no reflection of other cyclists however car drivers and general public will tar all cyclists with the same brush.
At the end of the day an idiot is an idiot no matter if they are walking, running, riding or driving.
But he is really letting other cyclists down by doing this.
It’s the first time I have seen it happen to be fairt but it was extremely dangerous.
Lights had gone red, green man just came on, I looks left. HGV stopped that side, look right and just about to cross and I see a roadie hammering up to the lights, to my amazement he blasts straight through. I was literally inches away from being hit.
I don’t understand it, it could have stopped easily, obviously thinks he is above the law. Got a good look at him and isn’t strava amazing. It shows who has ridden a segment on a given day and I think I’ve worked out who it is. If I run in to this clown I’ll be having some stern words.
Out of interest if coppers spot a cyclist jumping a red light what’s the punishment? Especially when it’s done dangerously.
