It’s fine as long as you do it safely. Know the cycle and go when it’s safe. The problem is the people who kamikaze through intersections who put everyone at risk, including other pedestrians.
The article says absolutely nothing, it’s a vacuous drivel talk around the subjects. Pointless
Yes. It’s the guardian opinion pages. What were you expecting 🤣
I’m pro-cycling but this guy comes across as a completeness. “It’s alright for me to ignore traffic lights because I’m ‘sharing the space’ but not for other people!”
ahh ahh ahh ahh
hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha
ahh ahh ahh haahaahaaaahaaahaaa
The essence of cycling is to keep moving
aAAH aAHHH hHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
just get and electric bike you f****** idiot
Not stopping at lights is just selfishness for the most part.
At a busy crossing: sure
At a completely empty crossing where the pedestrians to the right actually have a green light and you intend to go straight onto the bike path (because of course there was none where you came from): i don’t personally think so
This is just one of those things thats is blown up and people thrown in one drawer together, just because there are some real jackasses on bikes, imo
I don’t stop at a red light if its meant to prevent cars from turning left and they just decided the bike path next to the road that goes straight should also stop. A lot of traffic is just shit and as a cyclist doubly so, very often because it feels like everyone hates you or doesn’t even aknowledge your existence.
And of course the angry drivers who hate you for cycling past them in their traffic jam
