This is why cyclists will never be respected on London’s roads. How do we stop this from happening?

The cyclist in front of me could’ve ended up being a tennis ball between the driver of the car on the right, accelerating through a give way, and the driver of the Rolls on the left poking its nose out. Even with tax and insurance, car drivers that don’t follow rules are a danger

If we make roads wider for cars and inhospitable for pedestrians and cyclists, the road accident rate will collapse because there will be no pedestrians or cyclists to hit.

Look…everyone gets distracted…human nature. But if you daydream roll through a red light on a busy rush hour London road, just make sure that you’re in a bus for full protection 👍

It wouldn’t have inconvenienced either of these protagonists to wait literally 2 seconds for safe passage. Instead, the taxi driver carried out a punishment manoeuvre using his vehicle as a weapon.

Wouldn’t have killed this cyclist to slow down for a pedestrian on a zebra crossing. Totally disrespectful. I wonder what his social media post would say if it were his daughter crossing 🤷🏻♂️

This driver cuts across the middle of a roundabout to inconvenience a moped rider. The driver was indicating but had he manoeuvred correctly both he and the moped driver would have comfortably continued on their respective ways. Sadly I think there was another agenda at play here.

It’s cyclists like this that ruin it for everyone. I don’t think this pedestrian will be advocating for more cycle lanes and protective infrastructure. All cyclists must call this out.

According to my Garmin, today I was stopped for 4mins 10secs on a 17km commute to central London. I could save 2mins or more running reds. In my opinion I think it is safer to be front of the queue than risk getting side slammed. But that’s me 🤷🏻♂️

“E-bikes are a menace and should be taxed and have insurance. Then they’ll be obliged to follow the rules”
Of course, I got in the way of this cyclist going at approx twice the speed limit for the road, at a pedestrian controlled crossing.

Loads of bikes go through here on red, which is a shame as it is on a pedestrian green. Seen a few close calls, mostly from other bikes jumping from the right. But I wasn’t expecting a bike riding policeman to pass on my right!! Is this “get out of jail free” card? 🤷🏻♂️

No! This is all wrong. A licensed private hire taxi in London driving through a red traffic light?! I genuinely thought only cyclists do that 🤷🏻♂️

This driver got confused with the green man for pedestrians. Totally fine when you’re in a scaffolding truck.

I think there was a motorbike amnesty this morning. This one was my favourite - other side of the traffic light and then a hop onto the central reservation
