Survey: majority of cyclists jump red lights

Cyclists don't rip up the roads so are exempted from paying tax. We also don't pollute the atmosphere.

Yes if cyclists do jump red lights then they should be punished as if a car had jumped.

Treat the road like a motorist 

Cycling nowadays is taken with a general disregard for the highway code. it can be taken fromn 2 different ways of looking at it. 1 The cylist does not appear to be as brave as back in the 80s,2 the cyclist thinks they own the road, path, footbridge, anything else they can ride on. cyclists are not the only ones to go through red lights but i have never yet personally seen a car disregard the fact a footbridge is meant for walking over! i have seen bicycles and even motorbikes being ridden across our footbridges when it is quite obvious they are meant to be walked across , and bournemouth council dont bother to repaint the "no cycling"signs however much you ask them, so what can i do? i am a pedestrian who knows the highway code with regard to cycling and i would not go through a red light if i did cycle nowadays, nor cycle the wrong way down a one way street even if i was wearing all the high vis equipment! it just takes common sense. i saw a mounted policeman in london canter after a cyclist as the cyclist had gone through a red light. the copper caught up with him and gave him what looked like a good talking too , which appeared to have the desired effect.In Bournemouth, the police are unable to do much as the council dont appear to enforce them:( anyhoo enough of a rant from me. car drivers are just as bad.

How many car drivers will admit to driving at over 30 mph in a 30 zone?

90%?

Less of the holier that thou attitude from the car drivers please...

I aint got a thing about cyclists But if they jump and get injured - whose fault?

Another thing to bikers check your cycling gear , most fashions today seem to be black or dark - so next time you're out particularly dawn or dusk check how visible you are (NOT) 

I rode a bike for all my life. More than anyone you know probably.

Only recently did this become a habit, running lights, I just could not care less any more.

I put it down to a combination of around 5 personal factors.

Its not specifically the lights, since its clear I rarely pump the tires up any more either and my rear wheel is at crush depth on the rim with the pads, clonk clonk clonk.

I repaired my bike right down to the bearings bieng greased my whole life and now I could just fall off sideways and have a nap.

Paid the fine for cycling at 5 - 9 mph on the footpath once, but not preventing me, since to cross that traffic at that particular point just to re-turn right was a bit pointless, though I suppose I could have broke a lifelong habit and walked it, sometimes I do recently now. (pointless ambling, not design).
