Almost run over again – by a cycle on a footpath.

Following on from my previous cycle-related rant I ask the question – why do a small minority of cyclists break the law and tarnish the good name of cycling?

I refer such cyclists in the UK to Highway Code rule 64.

I saw it again last night – a cyclist going through a red light.

I’ve almost been run down twice by cyclists going through red traffic lights.

I’ve cycled myself in the past – but it never crossed my mind to jump lights.

Cyclists are not exempt from the UK Highway Code and the legal aspect is clarified on the Department for Transport’s site.
