A cyclist jumps a ride light, true, but so does a ruddy big lorry !!!!
I know which I'd rather take my chances with as a pedestrian !

So one dodgy cyclist is every cyclist?

Crap.

(I don't agree with cycling on the pavement or through red light jumping by any vehicle)

1 in 5 cyclists is a perp according to a Westminster Council study
I'd say that's pretty accurate
more worrying is that probably 3 in 5 don't know how to ride a bike properly on the roads

quite funny since the presenter of the piece's brothers in law are bike shop owners - and habitual red light runners - you know who you are!

I saw some cyclists jumping red lights today. Sneaky buggers had disguised themselves as cars!

I find I am usually the odd on out in traffic around london when confronted with a red light as I stop but not much else seams to. I would imagine it's more than 1 in 5 that jump read lights, the best thing on the road though is when commuters try to draft you!

Perhaps too many traffic lights?

Reduce the speed limits and get rid of them.

The government could sell all the traffic lights on ebay, and wipe out the national debt.

I'd buy a traffic light and stick it to my back
