Other cyclists with insane flashing lights and delivery workers on e-bike conversions riding like maniacs are probably my main pet peeve when commuting tbh.

And yeah, temporary lights, especially at roundabouts, often seem v dangerous and badly timed. Twice at the same roundabout here I’ve almost had my car written off because of people flying through. Would be suicide to try and cycle it tbh.

as long as it's safe and there are no peds around, i sometimes hop onto the pavement rather than risk a close pass through roadworks. (no doubt the drivers are shaking their heads at me, but they'd likely be doing the same for 'holding them up' if i was on the road 😂)

Och I just have to accept that I do some bastard manoeuvres to stay safe with traffic. Hopefully I earn enough good traffic karma by waiting at the vast majority of lights even with clear junctions (bare minimum I know, but still).
