Cyclists......tut tut tut

[VNA]

As for traffic lights you don't want to wait then dismount and walk across. Cyclists have as much duty as any other road user to abide by traffic laws and follow the highway code. 

Not really, no.  You don't need a license to cycle, so obeying traffic laws is optional as you cannot be banned.

You do what is safest and gets you about the quickest.

I mean that first bit at the traffic lights.  Who wouldn't!  Stop at the lights and you are just getting in everybody elses way and putting yourself at risk. 

The wrong way down one way streets, yup a bit stupid, but guess who's gonna get hurt.

Good old daily mail.
