Don't say "is this your bike"
Say "OI dickhead that's my fucking bike" regardless if it isn't
-if not his he'll think he's been caught red handed.
-If it is his bike it'll be obvious, and you can just apologise and say you hate theives and were just checking.
Smaller grey area in that case, no? It's take a canny toerag to think you're bluffing, and so what you tried your best, leave it if you're unsure.

I did wait at a red light when there's no peds, it's good to get into the force of habit of doing so.
Of course you're right, but you can't treat cyclists which don't (in this empty ped crossing example) the same as motorists. I think that's unreasonable, and hightlights a huge disparity in the law.

Obviously in an ideal world there shouldn't be concesions for anyone red light jumping, but lets be honest, it's often just plain absurd to wait at, say, a red light on a pedestrian crossing when there's no pedestrians.
It can also be safer to take up the empty road ahead, as opposed to getting 10 cars speed past as you're peddling hard.
It is clearly different for cyclists and cars, I'm not saying cyclist shoudl be given carte blanche at all, but it obvious, and it undermines the law if the use a sledgehammer on basically innocent people.

Yup, it's on iPlayer now.

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. But I'm on super-early shift tomorrow (MUST get to bed!). I'll try to fit it in after work, but before an early appearance at SE beers.
It's worth watching just to see how well quentin wilson pulls off high-vis and a leotard.
Good deal?
