It's not just cyclists that have to worry. I remember when Boris started this there were a few stories in the papers about small children/old people getting caught out halfway across the road when the traffic starts moving. Some stop lines were moved forwards, and combined with shorter gaps between the red man coming on for peds and the green light for traffic, this results in a much more efficient driving experience, and a much more exciting life for peds.
