This video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORqVMuOKCGs shows that it was safe for the car to go through the red light, so what was the problem with him doing that?

This one from London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b-Gk8v9bJc&feature=player_embedded shows a cyclist going through a red after waiting and a taxi driver doing the same thing – both passing through safe.

Incidentally, I’ll wait at lights no matter what. What I do in my car, I’ll do on my bike.

I really do find it difficult to fathom why cyclists do this…..I have done it in the past, so I am not preaching here, just playing devils advocate.

I love cycling and have gone through red lights at crossings when there are no ipeds crossing, but I see some cyclists go through some red lights with gay abandon most mornings and think ‘why’ and ‘what if…..’

It really does baffle me sometimes.

Fixed wheels bikes – shameless fashion item or the ‘pure cyclists’ choice?

Andreas – some good polls this week – although only been a reader of your blog for a week or two – have enjoyed it – its also interesting to read other cyclists opinions and how sometimes they completely differ from one another (me especially!)
