Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Why the fuck does it matter if it's a pedestrian, cyclist or parade of ducklings using the crossing? They are traffic lights, if they go red you should stop, it doesn't matter how fast you approach the lights before pressing the button and waiting.

But if the cyclist using the crossing is wearing a helmet it is ok to plough through them. Don't you understand? Helmets make them safe and protected from bad drivers.
