**I like this comment particularly: **
"I think that if cyclist are going to ride on the road then they should obey the traffic lights and stop when it turns red if there are persons at the traffic lights waiting to cross. It really annoys me when the light turns green and i cross the road (as a pedestrian) to then look to my left or right to see a cyclist bolting towards me and i am the type of person to get pedestrian rage if a cyclist rides into me. if the pedestrian crossing is clear then by all means cyclists ride on you are not going to get any tickets for running red lights. But it is precisely that rule that makes them think they can do it every time. Please let us all have some respect on the roads. (yeah right like thats gonna happen)"
He sets out the argument so clearly, I mean, I'd never understood the objection before!
