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

It's called being bellend.

It's just like the people th that scoot through lights. Manup and do it properly or not at all.

lmao, the people that are still sat on their bike but instead of pedalling, push with their feet. HILARIOUS!!

at red lights is it OK to dismount run three paces and remount...?

It's good cyclocross training, if nothing else.

trying to defend yourself Mr P?

I have a dream that one day I will master the 'hopping off the back of the bike while it keeps rolling dismount'. Then when I get a red, I can hop off the back, run across the junction after the bike and hop back on on the other side. It will be AWESOME!

no, you will just look like a tosser

i love to wank but after a few legal altercations prefer not to do it in public

the jump off, run across the road and get back on routine is just embarassing

I like navigating the around the place de la bastille, it's so much fun.

I am not sure that I have ever managed it without muttering the word 'cunt'

ooooo becasuse technically you wouldnt be jumping the light now would you.

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!

I saw a chinaman do it on a velib the other morning - he was ever so good - I was dead impressed

yeah, but the awesome bit comes because the bike is crossing by itself, and I am just running after it.

(I'm amazed no-one else sees the awesome).

ha ha, you tit.

maybe next time pick a fight with a man lady who turns out to be a cage fighter...

that's weird, I was just told a story about a friend's wife who was all tarted up for Halloween and got snarked at by some chick in the bar. in sexy nurse's outfit, stripper heels and everything, decked her and dropped her with one punch. chick didn't know she used to be a cage fighter. ha!

lol yea , for the best effect its best to wear a giant sombrero while doing it, it works especially good in winter!

Retarded, "you know the pedals are there so you don't HAVE to push anymore", amazing technology this bicycle lark eh!

I was at the Changing Places thing at Canary Wharf yesterday lunchtime to have a sit in a lorry cab and see it from their point of view. It was interesting to see the visibility problems truck drivers face, even in a low truck with all mod cons fitted.

There were lots of police down there and the two I talked to were surprisingly decent. One is top dog on the Met's traffic division and was genuinely distressed about the increase in cyclist fatalities. He will be conducting some research fairly soon on cyclist behaviour and he said that, without wishing to pre-empt the findings, he expects one of his recommendations will be allowing cyclists to jump red lights when turning left if it's safe to do so.

He's going to send me the link to the research project as soon as it's online, I'll post it up here when I get it.

Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature

**Please accept my apologies BQ I really had no idea is was offensive - is Chinese Man OK ? **

Chinaman is a term that refers to a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_people description. The term has been used by Chinese and persons without stated offensive intent,[3][6] and has also been used as a self-referential archetype by authors and artists of Asian descent.[7

so the next time i get stopped, can i tell plod to piss off?

should i report both of them?

yeh defo do this and maybe also tell them you anally fisted their mothers too or something...

everyone's a "cage fighter" all of a sudden, yet I've never seen cage fighting in this country, do they have it in the back rooms of pubs? like bands and strip shows?

Me and Pajamas did a Rollapaluza in a cage-fighting club in Bradford, they do exist and all nice people, especially the women.

Cage fighting's generally for people that have been banned/failed with Martial Arts/Boxing etc...

Dancing James is....

I think people used to be just a little cagey about its existence.

yup, 'real' martial artists aren't allowed in because their arts are 'too dangerous'.....

People go to a few MMA classes these days and call themselves a 'cage fighter'

"I train UFC" is another commonly heard term

at red lights is it OK to dismount run three paces and remount...?

Like this?

Honestly I have only read the opening post and title.

I remember reading the following logic froma report on cyclist deaths/injury stats:

-Women cyclists are far more likely to be involved in traffic incidents.
-But Men are far more likely to take risks, where as women tend to obey traffic code more.
-A large number of accident occur at traffic signals

Conclusion: Men who jump the lights when there's no obvious threat avoid the rush of cars at green signal, where as women get chewed up.

women ride safer, but cars don't
