RLJ London

[Bollo]

Hey you guys! How about starting a new organisation called 'SafeLights'? Does anyone on here have a caravan, a ponytail and a GCSE in statistics (Grade 'C' or below)?

There are lots of upset people who've been hit by muppets on bikes. It's very anti-social behaviour, and it does cause injury, though not very often. But then that could be said for motor vehicles on the pavement too.

As soon as I get the 'SafeLights' forum up and running, you're barred for starters!

No properly researched evidence then?

Didn't Theo Stegers already start one called "SafeJump"?

i think that if its a 4 way junction, and the pedestian crossing light is on, you may cycle along side but away from them. Never merge them and keep my disatnce. This does depend on a several factors like lateness, weather, police about and if im in a high o' mighty frame of mind where i am a perfect cyclist. There is only one or two places and i do it becuase it saves me getting squashed by cars roaring up behind me as i changed lanes on dangerous potholed road surfaces. The rest of the time i don't. not sure what it makes me, maybe 80% good?

I've honestly never seen a RLJ cause an incident in all my time cycling in London. Thats not to say I don't think its ever happened, but considering all the near misses of almost every other type of road user and behaviour that I have observed, I fail to see why RLJ is singled out in this way.

This thread is like a scratched LP record.

I've seen a few incidents and near misses and it's still a daft thing to do, unless you're trying to qualify for a Darwin award.

Why don't we all start RLJing in our cars as well?

Despite which, speaking as one who has been commuting about 7 miles each way every working day of the year, regardless of wind, rain or snow, for five years, on some of London's busiest roads, where RLJ is absolutely endemic, I have yet to see a single incident, much less accident.

Does that make it any more right?

Hope motorists don't do it any more than they do,do it otherwise it will get hairy.I almost got rear ended by a young cyclist does that make it right?

He asked me why I stopped.

You should read some of your own stuff then.

Stopping would be dangerous!

I like RLJers as much as I like mobile phone users while driving...The latter is probably worse but that still doesn't make the former right.

Oh yeah and I have a go at both at times.

I really haven't got a clue what you are on about.
