it's not unusual to be RLJ'd by anyone...

it's cambridge after all, what's one more eh?

on the way in this morning i come to a t-junction of side street and through road. side street is left turn only so i just filter across and hop up to the nearby pedestrian crossing so i can get on the through road nice and easily.

4 or 5 pedestrians and 2 or 3 cyclists plus me waiting to cross...amber & the traffic starts slowing, red and they've stopped. all except...the girl on the town bike who i saw look at the lights, look at the people waiting to use the crossing, watch the little old girl next to me put one foot in front of the other, to who i said 'hang on a minute sweetheart'...and then promptly swishes across the crossing making everyone wait/take a step back.

i say quite politely, 'that red light means you as well love' she looks over her shoulder at me as if i've just called her a filthy harlot and says, 'what's your problem?' as she drifts in to the centre of the road and has a big wobble...some people

IMO in seems to be the slower cyclists on BSO's that cycle on pavements and RLJ. I can almost predict if someone will RLJ just by the clothes they wear and the bike they ride.

Commuters on decent bikes wearing proper cycling clothes will stop at red lights 9 times out of 10

Oh bugger, is this going to get a similar reaction to Bionic Bettys comment on lycra wearing, roadies in the "it's not unusual to be RLJ'd by anyone..." thread?

the crossing outside 'The Snug' and what used to be Blockbuster Camgreen- i'd come out of the side street on the other side near CB2 cafe.
