If we stopped defending cyclists who RLJ we might gain a bit of credibility.
At the moment we sound like motorists defending speeding.
This would only make sense if morally speaking car speeding = cycle RLJing.
This isn't to defend RLJ, rather to point out speeding motorists kill and maim every single day, RLJ cyclists injure peds on a yearly frequency and never harm motorists. The two offences are not equivalent and hence efforts to defend one or the other are also not equivalent.
