And some cyclists think it's safe to jump red lights....

[summerdays]

Who knows how this cyclist managed not to notice the small red light and the slightly larger bus....

Someone might be clever than me and be able to embed the video here?

You wait for ages to see a collision with a bus, then two come along together.

Oops has it already been posted ....?

Edit ... I get it .... I'm a little bit slow sometimes!

It's safe to jump red lights, IF there are no other road users using your intended route at that particular time.
Clearly that was not the case for that nobber, who shouldn't be allowed out on his own.

Would you be of the opinion that all road users should be able to exercise this judgement?

weather or not there's anyone about i won't ever jump a red light, the next 64 years are more important to me than cutting 64 seconds off my journey

Don't think he'll do it again.

oh and whilst it might sound harsh to some, i really have no sympathy for such a person. they ride straight through a red without even looking what comes next is there own fault
what if that bus would have been a couple of seconds slower and he would have ended up under the front wheels rather than just hitting the side of it? and i know that big double decker busses like that don't have the best visibility and don't stop on a dime!

bollocks, that's no excuse! put your feet down or even better jump off, i would rather look like a prat sitting on a slightly grazed back side in front of a load of stationery cars with my bike damaged than looking like a prat meeting a moving bus with a damaged bike and me potentially with life changing injuries or death!
