Rebel Taylor Posted November 8, 2010 Share Why is it that certain cyclists do NOT want to stop at red traffic lights? You guys need to catch a wake up and start following the rules of the road. A red light means STOP, not look and if ots safe go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastapouch Posted November 8, 2010 Share some are too good, above the law. And it seems its usually old toppies who ride vets. Saw 2 yesterday on Ontdekkers, rigth across. I'm waiting for the day that one of these lot is gonna get run over by a motorist jumping the light from the side. Anyway, wanted to tell on this one. Rider comes past me, and get stopped at the robot by Horizon View Shopping Centre. I stop behind him, when the robot changes, he cuts in front of the cars starting to pull away and make a U turn on Ontdekkers. Just hooting and chaos.

Tiny K Posted November 8, 2010 Share Same happened in Sea Point yesterday. We (my DC team) stop at a red light. A chickie in Cycle Lab kit comes past, with no regard for the red light, and carries on riding. We shouted to her that she should stop at the red light and she just turned around and smiled. As if that is gonna help. She continued doing that for all the red lights as far as I could see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Taylor Posted November 8, 2010 Share For people who go through red lights, one day you will get run over, then you will realise your mistake. In JHB its Northern Cycles who are famous for it on Hendrik Potgieter road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted November 8, 2010 Share If you are riding early in the morning and there is nobody but you at the lights and they are red, I reckon it is OK to slow down and if it is safe, you can roll through. If there are cars waiting then you should stop. Not the right thing to do but if you are at a set of lights that use a vehicle to change, you are going to be there for a very looooong time Edit: Oh and ride in single file without blocking the road. We all have a right to be there. Show some respect. Edited November 8, 2010 by Grebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
