ed in answer to your question about when people ask you why people jump lights, just answer becasue they can.
I learnt to ride in london and you jumped lights, you just did, now there are more people riding bikes, rlj is this heinous act that only misfits and miscreants do.
I jumped lights, I continue to jump lights, I do not think of myself as an exhibitionist or a daredevil, or a bad/impolite cyclist.
I'm just one cyclist who rides in my way, I don't expect others to ride like me, or for others to hold me up as an example to others.
Just ride your bike, and if someone rides in a manner that you find dangerous or excessive, or that endangers you, have a word, then and there, not an angry word, just a word, let them know there are alternatives and leave it at that.
each one teach one and all that...
