Re: Red lights?
Mmmm! You could have a point!
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
Re: Red lights?
Some years ago I was sworn at loud and long by a young man when I stopped for a red light. I knew he was behind and braked gently when the light first changed to give him warning. Even so he was most indignant

You should have told them where to mind their own business.
It is up to every cyclist to decide their own red light policy.

Off subject but like you to I hope kwackers is ok and gets back on here soon as I have owned on subjects several times.
Back on subject yep they would of got a few expletives from me if they'd confronted me like that.

Best to ignore angry PoBs just like angry motons

Probably only on a bike because they are serving a driving ban for the same sort of behaviour.

It certainly is, trees are blowing all over the place, quite a storm last night too. Feels like autumn here.

With a disappointing outcome for them if that was the case.
A pity Kwackers wasnt around he might have provided the sort of RLJing support that would have made things entertaining, rather than a boring bunch like us who just dont do the RLJing thing (unlike motorists ) and have a pretty dim view of those who expect it of others, either through abuse (from other cyclists) or by having a 1.5 tonne car ram up your buttock* because you stopped for the red but it hadnt been red long enough for your average driver to stop for.
*I typed something different but the forum put that word in its place.

Well spotted John but I am still wondering about Kwackers !
