Was out in the jam jar today, taking the wife to shops and as we came up to the lights in Brookwood (alongside the old London Necropolis and Mausoleum site) a cyclist in front of me shot the red right and had a serious moment with a car coming through on the left. He then came to the next set of lights which were red and jumped them also . Guess what, the next set at Sainsburys were right turn green so he went straight on at red. The lights next were at Bisley, red again , he had a serious issue here due to the turning traffic but by virtue of some serious swerving he managed to carve a route between them . Lost him then, wonder if he saw the day out?

No longer a Specialized fanboy
Sounds like his job is a cycle courier in New York. I cant watch their videos

Are you saying he was doing left turns or straight across the road?

So you were wheel sucking, RLJing as well?
 
I know that bit of the road quite well. Quite a few squaddies ride around there. They can be completely nuts.
