I think he is trying to highlight the the chumps that make mothers with prams scared to cross the road despite having a green light to say YES, THE TWO OF YOU CAN SAFELY CROSS the road.
Yes, most lights/phasing/road layout are designed with cyclists as an after thought.
Yes, there's a difference between lights but even I have been getting really annoyed when waiting at pedestrian lights where there are loads of people who've chosen NOT to jay walk but have decided to wait until it's safe to cross only for some daft fixie skider/nodder + acolytes to nonchalanty cruise through giving folk the scare of their lives.
No, that ain't cool.
I also feel that there is a strong point to be raised about how this behavior gives rise to aggerssion from other road users towards cyclists as a whole, no?
disclaimer: I am NOT holier than thou but I do try to strive toward good road manners to others*.
