Cyclists......tut tut tut

[fazersharp]

I cycle 7 miles through London every day and agree with this all the way.  Because of the 8 deaths last year Boris stationed police on all the dangerous junctions in London to "Educate" both cyclists and drivers, in other words "obey the Highway code to the letter or we'll fine you".  I argued pretty much daily with one officer or another on the wisdom and virtue of starting off next to a cement mixer or a left turning bus when I could easily and safely jump the lights and be out of danger.  No one listened to me or any of the other cyclists I saw making similar arguments.  The police are gone now and everyone's back to navigating those junctions in the safest way possible.

Agreed

NOTE: - I do not condone cyclists on the pavement or going through pedestrian crossings when anyone is on them, those people are idiots!

And agreed
