Cyclists and red traffic lights


MtbCpt

Recommended Posts

 

An example was on one of BMC Fan's famour Hels trips where we went out and  swooshed through a red light in Stellenbosch.  Why' date=' because the first guy did it and everyone folowed.  Why?  Because no one wants to be the wet blanket who berates the rest.  At the next light, before Helshoogte,  Marius and I stopped, but chatting to him it was obvious that we did because w felt sure we could catch up.

 

It's all part of the mob mentatlity and "I'm a real cyclist and that's what we do" mindset.  We all have it and we should just sit back and take the abuse.

Yup, correct like a bunch of sheep.

 

I am not a policeman, so in situations like this, I just quietly fall out of the bunch, and more and more folk are doing the same.

 

We all want "them" to change, taxis,motorists, truckers, bikers, pedestrians whatever, but we dont want to change.

We want to still run lights,stop signs whatever and when someone is injured or killed we want to cry foul.

 

Wash your own window first, before criticizing anothers dirty window.

hmmmm. I've just checked out that site' date=' run by Seth Rotheringham, which is at best boring. But of interest was this video in the 'about' section. The man appears to be retarded. And somewhat arrogant. Possibly homosexual.

Confused  What are you supposed to do when in a race the light is red and there is no marshall?

 

that scenario really shouldn;t happen... what a nightmare! But what would probably happen is that the guys would go through if it's clear and shout loudly "CLEAR" to the rest.... heaven forbid they have to stop suddenly!
