I almost sent them a cheque for £0.00.
I'd love to see what the banks did.

I love Linux
The irony is that the sort of people who could get into Linux are the people least likely to click on stuff they shouldn't

It is usually done by 'ninja-style' cyclists.
I do sometimes rlj but sorry I will not stand at an unchanging traffic light n sub zero temps at 05.30am waiting for a car to arrive to trigger the change.
Likewise the other evening when at 10.30, late off work and stood in rain, lights Preston garrison were not changing and there was not a car insight in any direction!
On these occasions I always treat the junction like a regular give way check it is clear and proceed.
I would not attempt it during the day time when these junctions are very busy.
I cycle home at 1am and encountered a set of lights that stay at red from all directions until a car is detected even though there is a cycle lane. I reported it to the council and a few months later it now cycles through all the options if no-one is about. Its amazing what can happen if you bother to tell the council about an issue rather than just jump the lights and moan about it to yourself.

They sound positively scary. You would be better buying a box of bits and a spanner from a cheap warehouse on-line.
