RLJ (Red Light Jumping). (The definitive bikeradar thread)

Well, there are more cyclists so even if the proportion of them RLJing stays the same the number will be greater. I don't think it is a minority, I think it is a fairly large majority. What they see, and then do, is someone getting away with what appears to be useful - not having to stop at the lights. It's much harder to 'see' what I believe are the actual benefits of not RLJing. One of which, as Dammit says, is that we don't look like a bunch of selfish hypocrites. The point is the more visible it gets, even if proportionally it stays the same, the worse cyclists as a group look.

The popular perception of cyclists as 'rule breakers' will not change if only .005 % RLJ.
Its what the haters want to see.
