Minor hoo ha this morning between pedestrian and cyclist at the junction of Mare St and Morning Lane. The southbound cyclist was going full pelt to turn left into Morning Lane (it was a green left filter light for him) and the pedestrian was crossing because she thought it was a red light for all traffic since she saw all the other cyclists waiting patiently at the 'straight on' red. He went bang into her and nearly knocked her over.
I felt a bit sorry for the pedestrian because during the ensuing confrontation all the other cyclists waiting at the red ganged up on her and berated her for crossing (albeit foolishly) on a red man despite the fact that the fellow on the bike was going way too fast for a busy junction. She made the point that when she's driving she looks out for cyclists making mistakes, and that cyclists should do the same for pedestrians.
