Joe Public sees cyclist going through red. Joe Public isn't that bright. Joe Public doesn't say, 'That cyclist went through on the red'. No. Joe Public says, 'Cyclists go through red lights!'
Fast forward a year or so and we've got stuff like ..
Cyclists: Red and Green - Learn the bloody difference!! - YouTube
On each and every occasion where I have complained to the operator of a motor vehicle, about his behaviour, he has retorted with some variant of 'fucking cyclists don't know what red lights mean'.
Every. Fucking. Time.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of being tarred with the same brush as the cuntstains who think that red lights don't apply to them. It doesn't matter how often we say 'We're not all like that,' or how often we say, 'We shouldn't all be judged on the behaviour of other cyclists'. We are.
