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

Can we go back to the suggestion that everyone should slow down to 10mph when going through green lights. I want to LOL some more.

This is proper hilarious.

Imagine that behaviour at green traffic lights on a 40 mph road such as this

You want everyone slowing down to 10 mph through there? (NB assuming light traffic conditions with it all actually moving at more than 10 mph of course! Could probably have picked a better example but ya git me).

Damn it...

Mrs_World unable to do lists, not such a domestic goddess after all.

I entered all those number manually. Not doing it again.

48.Someone broke the list

jumped red lights today, experienced the coldest, most judgemental stares from other cyclists who stood patiently waiting for green. not jumping reds again.

Which part is z doing wrong?

saw somebody get pulled for bopping through old street/shoreditch high street junction, which I was pleased about because I'd noticed him doing a couple of dick moves on the way there. The audible "yiiiissssssssssss" I let out looked rather foolish when he left after a 12 second chat... what gives? I demand satisfaction.

1. Cos waiting at
   lights is bad for your health
   
   

49 . It's Sunday and I'm fucked if I'm spending any more time getting to work and back than I have to and the only reason I ever waited at red was to feel morally superior to everyone else anyway and fuck everyone else.

I predict a riot

^ And we have reason number fifty. Congratulations :)

(copy quoted un-numbered list into word, auto number, copy back and it's numbered, ????, PROFTI!!!)

To the absolute cock jockey that jumped the lights on Clapham Road just before Stockwell this evening. Single speed, red and black lumber jack shirt blonde hair and head phones in.

I was crossing that on a green with my wife, child and buggy you absolute twat. if I'd had my bike with me I'd have caught you and d locked you round the head. A wave as an apology wasn't going to cut it

No, you slow down when approaching the traffic light, not drop down to 10mph unless the scenario required it.
