Contending traffic lights

In-fact the law states that if you push your bike across a red light then it still constitutes a vehicle
however if you pick it up and walk over the lights your bike constitutes a parcel and renders you however temporarily as a pedestrian.
One of the most useful things my granddad who was an ex copper taught me.

My understanding was that when you were pushing your bike (not scooting it, etc) your bike had the same legal status as a push chair or a pram, say. But I'm not a lawyer, so I'll take your word for it.
