Witnessed quite the strangest cycling I've seen on the way in this morning.
Heading south towards Pentonville Rd, someone who nonchalantly jumped the previous set of lights had stopped on the outside of queueing traffic a good half dozen cars back from the front. Slightly puzzled as to why someone would do this, I went past them and stopped in the ASL.
All became clear when they came absolutely flying through the junction just before the lights changed. Not sure how they judged when to set off, but completely fucking up the timing meant there could well have been people crossing as they barrelled through the lights at 20+ mph, not to mention several cyclists of varying abilities and awareness all setting off at a similar time.
Bit of a cunt, I reckoned.
