After reading Vike's thread on road law I took the opportunity to actually look at cyclists behaviour on a busy junction for 45 min:
* about 1/3 of people wear high-viz
* about 1/3 of people don't wear a helmet (but around half of the non-helmet wears did wear high-viz)
* The majority of cyclist while not technically abiding every law show reasonable common sense.
* The riders who took the most risks & pissed off the most people were those who looked to be seasoned cyclists & should have known better.
* Car drivers want cyclists to disobey traffic laws when it means they wouldn't be inconvenienced by the cyclist.
