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

If we stopped defending cyclists who RLJ we might gain a bit of credibility.

At the moment we sound like motorists defending speeding.
This is what we do in my group. In fact, we ran a campaign recently against inconsiderate cycling on Surrey Canal tow path in response to dozens of complaints from pedestrians/local residents.

Trouble is, then we are accused by some of spending too much energy focussing on these issues, the negative, rather than promoting or defending cycling and cyclists.

So we cannot win.

I believe that in order to promote cycling, gain respect and attract new cyclists, it is vital (certainly for campaign groups) to consider and sometimes take action to demonstrate that law breaking (even if we don't always agree with the law/Highway Code) is not OK.
