I am a cyclist, and I dont exactly understand why some cyclists HAVE to cross the road on the red light.
Is it worth it, risking your life for about 1min30s at the red light?
This gives bad reputation to cyclists too.
Is it Selfishness, stupidity or maybe both?

Several times I have been nearly hit crossing the road by a cyclist breaking a red light. In every instance they have looked at me like I fucking jumped out on top of them and tried to skull fuck them. Cunts, Im the one who has right of way.

Aye but if you know what you are doing, drink driving can actually be done in a safe and appropriate manner. Still illegal and dangerous.

Boris Johnson is trying to make it legal at certain junctions, as if there is no pedestrian crossing and the traffic is filtering in from the right (UK) then its really not a problem!
On a side, note, riding home from work yesterday, a young girl stepped right out in front of me, I smashed into her, hurting her quite bad (cuts and bruises) and sending me over the handlebars (managed to land on my feet and hands somehow!).
She is lucky I wasn't a car, she would have been a gonner!
I fucken bollocked her mother for letting go of her hand on a busy road, stupid cow!
- omg that is so scary mother probably lets the girl play with fire too.nicole_marie
- The greatest risk to children under 10 is vehicle accidents. Holding hands near roads and in parking lots is the key.blaw
- In other words, "stupid cow!" is completely called for.blaw

I, like most other cyclists, check before I cross a red light.
It's generally not quite the risk to life you make it out to be.
I will probably regret this statement next time I go out cycling.

Is this you breakdancing?

I often break a red light but *only* if it is one of those basic pedestrian crossings and it is very very clear that nobody is around... I wouldn't jump at a junction's red light.
I did that yesterday, and I was tailed by a cop who gave me a bollocking; quite rightly I guess.

Pisses me off no-end and I'm quite likely to try and dismount them.
Chances are in London they'll all die at some point anyway, and I just see cyclists as part of the worlds "stupid people" filter.

I don't really get why cyclists are hated though... I drive as well as cycle and no cyclist has ever pissed me off, and I'm not sure how they would.
Who cares if they jump a red light? It's their look-out surely; doesn't affect the driver in any way.

Either you're a vehicle or not. Personally I think you're not a pedestrian when traveling at 20MPH and should follow the same laws as vehicles to protect yourself and everyone else from you.
I saw a smartarse cyclist get mangled up under a lorry on Commercial St last year, the lorry had tried to avoid the guy and ended up on the pavement. Easily done in London I guess.

Yeah, fucking hate that... get it all the time. 9 out of 10 cyclists I see jump the red light. If they ever got knocked off it would be the drivers fault too... fucking wankers.
Also, when there a two of them why fucking block the whole road riding side by side... it's illegal too isn't it? Get a fucking clue...

I hate cyclists who us the pavements .
Also on the flip side when drivers open their car door unexpectedly without looking in the rear view mirrors. A mate of mine severed a major artery going through the passenger door window
- I use pavements sometimes, but there aren't that many people here, so....yeah.juhls

Surely cyclists should obey the same rules as a driver if they are using roads?
It irks me when I'm waiting at a red light and see a cyclist seemingly oblivious to the fact that there is any red light showing and ploughs straight on through. If I had done that, I'd get a 60 quid fine, 3 points on my license and a rimming from my insurance premium.
Bastard cyclists.

Here in the Netherlands there's special bicycle roads - at some intersections with stoplights of their own. Cyclists have to obey the same rules here as everyone else. I don't see why that shouldn't be any different elsewhere.

Fucking cyclists, let's kill them all.

I hate cyclist when I'm driving. I hate drivers when I'm cycling.
One thing car drivers don't understand when stuck behind one angry on a hill is that the cyclist is busting a fuckin lung trying to get up the damn hill and isn't even thinking about some pratt behind him.

Carry a small tin of beans with you and fucking chuck it at the next cyclist that annoys you. Be carefull out there josimar got whacked by a car recently and hurt his legs :(, I cycle and I drive and I care not one jot either way.

I cycle to work everyday and obey the rules of the road. I don't worry about anyone but cabbies, those fuckers are ruthless out there and I've almost been hit by 2 of them in the last week.
We've got a number of bikes lanes in Toronto, but we need more. People bitch that it takes away parking, but what is the alternative? Give us our own space so we can stay clear of cars and their space.
