All motorised traffic flowing N-S or S-N had got through, but lights were still green. Pedestrian crossing was next in the sequence and many (~10-15) started early. A cyclist rode S-N through the (still) green light, but a pedestrian, who was about 1/3 of the way across the road shouted "red light" at him. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19257#post-295218 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 22:08:10 +0000 stiltskin 295218@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>... woman whose elderly dog has ambled into my path<br /> “ I’m terribly sorry, but he’s a bit deaf”<br /> Me: “That’s ok.

You are one of the <em>good</em> cyclists.” </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19257#post-295210 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 19:40:51 +0000 gembo 295210@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On tonight's mad a70 commute, no tail wind ce soir, i was stopping at the red light at the pedestrian crossing at the Jet garage of Nether Currie (not been jet for about 15 years tis in fact a handy Sainsburys, pay at the pump shop). Annoying as I had been overtaken by chap with extremely skinny tyres who I thought was maybe someone I know and I was going to try to catch him). The peds on the crossing start talking to me and I am saying excuse me what did you say and th peds are giving it He is the sort who gives cyclists a bad name and I say Why? And the peds say because he jumped the red light. So I give it But I am the sort who gives cyclists a good name. All cheery bantz. Thing is, I do not think he jumped the red light. He stomped through it and then it changed stopping me from trying to catch him. But I could be wrong. </p>
