Pro red light jumpers

[SportMonkey]

Just seen two GBCycling bell ends jump the red light across from Ordsall Lane across Regents Road. They must be mad.

Why are you telling us?

Surely the behaviour of pros is something that we should discuss. Why should a child respect a red light when their hero doesn't?

I'll leave this thread to those that care about such minor matters...maybe invite a few Commuters in?

We need to know who they were. Obviously you took photos?

Yet you care enough to post. If you had truly found this thread ignorable, you would have done just that. Instead you've been rude, dismissive and condescending. If a pro cyclist committing a crime is something you deem not worthy of note it says a lot about you. Cycling has a bad enough image when it comes to respect, especially that of rules as it is.

This isn't really about pro-cycling and we really don't need to drag extra arguments in here from other parts of the forum.

Of course not, let's turn a blind eye to pro cyclists who break the rules.

You should have named them. Or told us you had seen Lance red light jumping.

Were the two riders definitely TeamGB riders or could they have been uniformed-up wannabes?

Okay, fair point I shall show my disaproval for such behaviour: tut tut. Now, can we move on?

Could be, but both fully kitted on team Pinarellos outside GBCycling's rented apartments.

I can't work out which is the more mental. Jumping lights on that junction or pro riders wasting their time in central Manchester in the first place.

Must have been a couple of wannabellends surely?

Edit: crossed posts

I think we get the point....as we have done thousands of times before. Yes it is wrong to jump red lights. I personally do not do it. You have no idea who they were so we cannot name and shame them.

I think that is about the end of this topic, don`t you?

Your opinion is we cannot discuss a pro doing this, don't be a condescending twit.

The other point, as tigger noted was the junction it was done on.
