Living close to Cambridge there is this never ending clash of interests between car drivers and cyclists, very bitter at times it is. Cambridge is getting more and more choked up with traffic is the problem of course.
This week saw a headline in the local paper which caused me to stop and think and a chuckle as I tried to make sense of it.
'Cyclists will jump red lights to cheat death'
The story is that cyclists will cross red traffic lights to avoid the cars behind them, the statement was made by a cyclist to justify why cyclists often jump red lights.
But think on if there is a red light ahead of you and you cross it doesn't that mean someone else has a green light and the right to proceed, thus rendering the headline useless or perhaps be completed by the addition of; 'only to be mown down by other car drivers proceeding on green lights' or something similar.
