This morning's commute and other commuting stories

He speaks the truth and however much we would like it not to be the case, it is. Drivers do not differentiate between cyclists, they see us as a homogenous group who all jump reds and ride on pavements.

Same as cyclists on this forum and others talk about taxi drivers, addison lee drivers and so forth. We generalise, that's the nature of people (ooh another generalisation).

This.

Plus, there's the humungous hypocrisy of the cyclists who run a red light, and then bitch when someone in a car does the same.

'But, the potential for harm is greater with cars!!' they whine.

Spare me. It's about the law. We can't criticise others for breaking it, if we do exactly the same.
